Female Victim in Fatal Accident Gave False ID for Medical Care

UPDATE (July 9, 12:30 a.m.): The female victim of last week's fatal accident on Interstate 93 falsely identified herself to police and medical professionals to receive medical care, according to the Eagle Tribune.

Angela Kasse, 29, of Concord reportedly took the photo identification of 27-year-old Randolph, Vt. resident Alyssa Jarvis while at a party in Vermont.

According to the paper, Kasse told police that she used the ID because she used to be addicted to pain medication and was afraid the hospital might withhold treatment.

A woman injured in an accident that left one man dead on Interstate 93 last week has been arrested, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Angela Kasse, 29, of Concord, was one of two people hit by an alleged drunk driver July 3 on the southbound side of I-93 in Windham.

While she originally identified herself as Alyssa Jarvis, 27, of Randolph, Vt, troopers were able to determine her actual identity following an investigation.

Following her release from Parkland Medical Center, Kasse was charged with theft of services and false report to a law enforcement officer. She was taken to the Rockingham County Jail and held on cash bail pending arraignment Monday at Derry District Court. 

In the initial report, police said that Kasse was transported with injuries to her legs.

Angel Gonzalez, 44, of Boston, was killed in the crash while attempting to change a flat tire on the Honda Accord he was driving.

Failing to see the Honda Accord, Pauline Kochniec, 47, of Berlin, N.H. struck the vehicle with her Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Gonzalez was thrown a short distance and later pronounced dead at the scene.

Kochniec has been charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, and additional charges could be forthcoming.

A third occupant – James Henley, 32, of Lynn, Mass., was also standing outside the vehicle with Gonzalez and Kasse. He was unharmed in the accident.
