Driver Was Reportedly 'Following Too Closely' Before I-93 Crash

The drivers of both the tractor trailer tanker and the SUV involved in this morning's crash have been identified by New Hampshire State Police.

Dany Brassard, 44, of Quebec, Canada was the operator of the tanker that struck the SUV from behind.

According to the report from State Police, the preliminary investigation indicates that Brassard was inattentive and following too closely to the SUV at the time of the incident and could not slow quickly enough.

The incident took place around 6:40 a.m. just north of Exit 2 in Salem on Interstate 93 south. Salem Police, Salem Fire, and State Police all responded.

Windham resident Kim Bok, 57, was identified as the operator of the SUV.

Neither Brassard nor Bok were injured in the accident and both vehicles were towed from the scene.

Steel guardrail was damaged as a result of the crash, and traffic was restricted to one lane for about an hour while the vehicles were towed.

The crash is currently under investigation by State Police Troop B in Bedford by Trooper Natalie Glisson. Speed and alcohol do not appear to have been a factor.
