5 hurt as ambulance, police SUV crash blocks apart in Manchester
An AMR ambulance and a Volvo wagon collided around 11:40 a.m. near the entrance to the hospital and the intersection of Tarrytown Road and Nelson Street, Manchester fire officials said.
The ambulance was responding to a call when the collision caused the driver to lose control and the rig rolled over.
Manchester Police said the ambulance was entering the intersection with its lights and siren activated when the accident happened.
The two medics in the front seat of the ambulance were trapped inside, but fire crews helped them remove the front windshield so they could get out. They were taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Police said the driver of the Volvo reported no injuries.
While crews were working at that crash scene, a Ford Explorer driven by a Manchester Police officer collided with a Jeep Compass near the intersection of Valley and Jewett streets, just a few blocks over and near the other side of the Elliot.
The Jeep rolled over and crews had to extricate the driver and a passenger who were trapped inside, fire officials said. Doors were removed from the driver's side of the Jeep.
Police said the officer and the two occupants of the Jeep were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The identities of the people involved were not released.
Anyone who witnessed either accident is asked to call Manchester Police at 603-668-8711.

2026 Jeep Cherokee returns: Hybrid debuts with turbocharged engine
When the Cherokee left Jeep's lineup at the end of 2023, it left a hole far larger than, well, a Cherokee itself between the smaller Compass and the midsize Grand Cherokee. The Cherokee, you see, competes in one of the hottest vehicle segments today, against big-time sellers like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Equinox, Hyundai Tucson … you get the idea. So it was strange when the last generation Cherokee was discontinued without an immediate replacement. After leaving untold sales on the table for two years, Jeep's Cherokee is back. Jeep has released the first images of the new SUV, along with some intriguing factoids on its website ahead of its full reveal and arrival "later this year." Fans of classic Cherokees might look fondly on the new model, which returns to a boxier, more Jeep-like visage than its smoother-snooted predecessor. To drive the point home, Jeep even published an image with the XJ-series versions of the compact Cherokee sold from the 1980s through the early 2000s bracketing the new model (below). The '26 Cherokee's front end is flatter and has squared-off headlights evocative of those sealed-beam units on the original XJs, and the roofline is more upright and angular than before. The Cherokee goes hybrid Jeep's announcement of the new Cherokee includes some tantalizing hints of what might sit beneath the SUV's flatter, longer hood. Per the automaker: "Reimagined from the ground up, the next-generation Jeep Cherokee will redefine North America's most popular vehicle segment, bringing midsize SUV customers a new, efficient, and powerful hybrid propulsion option from Jeep." 2026 Genesis SUV lineup: A quick guide to new features and upgrades So, there will be a hybrid. It's not clear from that whether the Cherokee will only be offered as a hybrid, though, because later in the same press release Jeep makes this somewhat confusing reference: "From industry-leading ICE vehicles to plug-in hybrid leadership to all-electric offerings, the new Jeep Cherokee joins the mission to empower customers with the freedom to adventure their way with unmatched Jeep capability and innovation." Is that line referring to Jeep overall? The Jeep brand of course offers both internal-combustion-engine options as well as plug-in hybrids (the brand's 4xe technology is offered on the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler and Gladiator pickup). Or is this a tease that the 2026 Cherokee will, as we expect, offer an entry-level gas engine — say, the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that powers the Compass — along with a 4xe plug-in hybrid variant or even an EV option? Perhaps, but Jeep isn't releasing any further information until closer to the Cherokee's launch, though it added some specifics to its consumer-facing website in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee's hybrid powertrain will consist of a turbocharged, hybridized 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. Every Cherokee will get Jeep's Active Drive I all-wheel-drive system standard, too. This combination promises 38 mpg combined, per Jeep, a huge improvement over the last-generation Cherokee's 2.4-liter four-cylinder, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 3.2-liter V-6 engine options, which struggled to achieve mid-20-mpg combined figures. Despite the tiny new engine size, the 2026 Jeep Cherokee is said to be capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds — a class-average amount, but welcome nonetheless. Luxury SUV models: Cadillac Optiq EV goes pink for Mary Kay sales stars It'll be larger, too Jeep has a history of referring to the Cherokee as a midsize SUV, but based on generally accepted marketing classifications, it's really a compact — again, same as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and others, none of which are particularly "compact" these days. (The larger Grand Cherokee fits in the midsize category, while the larger-still Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are full-size three-row beasts.) That said, the new Cherokee is likely going to inflate, adopting a larger footprint closer to the Grand Cherokee's than the smaller Compass's. A big reason for this is the platform: This new Cherokee is expected to utilize parent company Stellantis' new STLA Large architecture, which is capable of supporting ICE, hybrid and all-electric powertrains. This same STLA iteration appears in the Jeep Wagoneer S EV. This new platform should stretch the Cherokee's wheelbase decently beyond the old Cherokee's, opening up cabin space and pushing the wheels farther toward the corners, as you can see in these photos. Speaking of the cabin, it's likely the new Cherokee will adopt the latest version of Uconnect infotainment — possibly even offering a third dashboard display in front of the front seat passenger on high-end models — just as the Wagoneer S does. We'll find out more as the 2026 Jeep Cherokee approaches its official debut later this year, including where the new SUV will be built (the last one was assembled in Illinois) — a key consideration in these tariff-tossed times. The good news? Jeep is promising an affordable price squarely between the recently more affordable Compass and the Grand Cherokee, or around $30,000 by our estimation. The Cherokee will be available in five trim levels: Base, Laredo, Limited, Overland, and off-road Trailhawk. This story was originally published May 2025 and has since been updated to reflect new images and information released by Jeep. Photos by manufacturer

Stellantis future models 2025-2035: Part 2
Fiat Smart Car, Stellantis' low-cost small vehicles platform, continues to be evolved. Fiat is one of the next in line to receive a fresh model based on this architecture, that being a pick-up for multiple regions. Said to be running slightly behind target for launch, it should at least be revealed this year though actual deliveries might not commence until 2026. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You The Insurance Savings You Expect Great Rates and Award-Winning Service The most-needed new model, however, is now imminent, that being the 500 Ibrida. This 1.0-litre mild hybrid version of the Cinquecento will be built on the same line as the EV at Mirafiori Carrozzerie. One interesting detail is a manual transmission, this now being a generally rare thing in cars for the European market. Both Firefly-powered and electric 500s should be facelifted in 2027 and remain in production at the historic Turin site until 2030. Tipo becomes a fastback Next year, not only will there be a Trekking version of the Grande Panda (raised suspension and 4x4 drive) but we'll also see a genuinely new car in the form of a Tipo/Egea successor. Unlike the existing sedan, hatchback and wagon, this replacement is to be a fastback-SUV. As with the pick-up mentioned above, the platform is Smart Car. The fresh models continue in 2027, which is when the so-called 'Giga Panda' debuts. Intended to be a rival for the big selling Dacia Duster, there will surely also be a higher priced Trekking derivative. That one may not arrive until 2028, however. After this, 2029 could be a quiet year but in 2030, there will be big news in the form of a new Panda. Stellantis will retool the Pomigliano d'Arco plant near Naples ahead of the little car's premiere. Jeep One of the most important tasks for Stellantis' new CEO is to oversee the revival of Jeep, this division having formerly been a major earner for the entire group. The US market is obviously key to such plans and the latest news is good, much fresh metal now arriving for the 2026 model year. J4U, the next Compass, will soon be in production (Italy first, then North America), official details having been released to the media in May. This looks set to become Jeep's next best seller at a global level, presuming it succeeds in Europe. There will be MHEV ('E-Hybrid), PHEV ('E-Hybrid plug-in') and EV powertrains with four-wheel drive reserved for those electric variants which have two motors. The life cycle should be seven years, which means a facelift in 2030 and a successor in 2033/2034. REEV/EREV powertrain The Recon, plus a new Cherokee are also coming relatively soon as well as facelifts later in 2025 for the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Engineering-wise, the big news is to be Stellantis' six-cylinder engine being paired to a motor as a range extender. Whether or not the formerly confirmed Wagoneer EV and Grand Wagoneer EV will still enter production at Warren Truck in 2027 as planned or be shelved for a year or so is not yet known. J70, the next Wrangler, is due in 2028 and this model will be built at Toledo Assembly but an electric variant may not arrive until 2029 or 2030. However, there are now rumours of an extended range EV powertrain which could come first. The next Gladiator should also be manufactured at the same Ohio plant. It is due in 2029. Lancia One of several marques which could be doing far better may need a strategy revision. And soon. Lancia's sales collapsed by 74 per cent in the first half of this year compared to the equivalent period in 2024. In July, home market registrations numbered just 800, a 72 per cent plunge year-on-year. The loss of what had been the aged yet very popular previous Ypsilon continues to be a major issue, its electric/electrified-successor thus far failing to capture buyers' imagination. Higher pricing hasn't helped matters. Last month the little hatchback was only just inside the Italian market's top fifty, outsold by the likes of the BMW X3 (809) and Suzuki Vitara (858). The Ypsilon and Ypsilon Hybrid have both been updated recently, the EV gaining a new battery and a claimed 22 km of extra range, while there is an extra 10 PS for the MHEV (now 110 or 81 kW) via a new way of calculating power. The addition of the HF is another piece of news, this sports variant having 280 PS. Gamma due next year We must wait until 2026 for the range to include a second model, that being the Gamma, a 4.7 m long fastback. Originally set to be electric-only, there will now be a hybrid too. For Lancia's 120th birthday in 2027, Stellantis will add the Gamma HF and four-wheel drive HF Integrale, followed one year later by a facelift for the Ypsilon. The Delta is also due in 2028, this being a C segment vehicle and likely a crossover, though a hatchback body is possible. The relevant HF and HF Integrale seem more than likely to join the line-up in 2029. Early in 2030 we should see a revised Gamma with its successor due in 2033, two years after the premiere of the next Ypsilon. Some twelve months after the new little hatchback debuts (2031) comes the Ypsilon HF, Lancia's gift to itself for the marque's 125th anniversary. Leapmotor Even though its exports numbered just 20,375 cars in the first half of this year, Zhejiang Leapmotor Technologies' global deliveries hit a record 221,664 passenger vehicles during the same period. Moreover, Stellantis' main China-based partner even managed to reverse a year ago loss of CNY2.2bn, turning this to a small profit of CNY33m (USD4.6m). The company's cars, whilst cheap and fairly basic, are finding ever more favour at home, wholesales hitting 45,524 in July (up 106% YoY and 238,570 YtD), enough to secure ninth place and place the brand ahead of Honda (44,251). And while numbers in Europe remain comparatively modest, volume is rising month by month. This should accelerate in 2026 once local assembly commences in partnership with Stellantis. Seven-eight models While the B10, C01, C10, C11, C16 and T03 models were already available, the B01 has just been added in relevant countries. This fastback sedan offers the choice of 132 kW or 160 kW motors and a lithium-iron phosphate battery pack. Unlike certain other cars, this one isn't (yet) available with a range extender alternative. It is, however, selling very well indeed, already the brand's number two in China behind the C10. The C01, a large EREV, will likely soon be dropped as it has not been a success, more models are coming, and soon, including the A12, a small SUV. There will also be more overseas assembly for certain existing vehicles, including the C10, which will be produced from kits at Stellantis' Gurun plant in Malaysia. Cars for other RHD countries will likely be sourced from there commencing in 2026. There are also indications that the Figueruelas (Zaragosa) factory in Spain will add the B10 to its output, also starting next year. Maserati Along with Abarth, Chrysler, DS, Lancia and perhaps other brands, the future of Maserati is by no means guaranteed. Stellantis' new CEO is for the moment keeping quiet on his intentions but the division really does need to start living up to its potential. The alarming part is how good the cars are, and how relatively new too, though a push into EVs now seems to have been premature. Debuting in February, the GranCabrio, with its 490 CV biturbo engine, has helped to boost the fortunes of that niche model at least, while the announcement during the following month that the MC20 Folgore (electric) was being shelved came as no surprise. But will it ever reach production? GT and GC to exit Turin plant We'll see an inevitable dip in GranTurismo and Gran Cabrio sales early in 2026 as the cars switch plants from Mirafiori to Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena. This is to make room for the arrival of the Fiat 500 Ibrida at the historic Turin factory. The Maseratis will be due for mid-life facelifts in 2027 or 2028, their successors not being expected until the early 2030s. We don't yet know what has become of the project for a fresh Quattroporte. The last statement was that a launch had been delayed until 2028 and the idea of the car being electric now seems too niche. The architecture will surely be STLA L with the option of a combustion engine. Another vehicle with a big question mark over it is the so-called E-UV BEV. Once expected in 2027, this Levante-sized SUV will inevitably be offered with combustion engine power too. As of now, the model will probably arrive in 2028, meaning a life cycle that doesn't end until the second half of the 2030s.

Volvo names chief commercial officer
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Volvo Cars is seeking to bolster its flagging sales by resurrecting the role of chief commercial officer with the appointment of a long-time staffer, Erik Severinson, to the job that has been vacant for nearly a year. Severinson's mission as CCO will be to fill gaps in the automaker's product line up and improve sales of its battery-electric vehicles in both the European and Chinese markets, the automaker announced on Aug. 14. And top of that list will be handling the launch of Volvo's forthcoming EX60 mid-size BEV in Europe in the hope of avoiding issues that plagued the launch of its bigger sibling, the EX90. That model saw delivery delays owing to software issues. Severinson, who takes on the role with immediate effect, has been with Volvo since 2008 and has worked in several business areas in the company, from head of finance for research and development, to being responsible for all central and industrial functions, then to controlling function and financial steering of the company. He also oversaw the industrial strategy leading Volvo's electrification program as well as production, purchasing, supply chain, quality and sales and production planning culminating in the role of head of strategy and new cars. His most recent position was as chief product and strategy officer. His new post will include managing a larger team to support a review of the automaker's product offerings and powertrain options for consumers, Volvo said in a statement. The CCO appointment will also see the return of Michael Fleiss from the Horse Powertrain, a joint venture between Geely and Renault to take on Severinson's former role of chief product and strategy officer. 'I'm very pleased to welcome Erik to this new role, and to welcome Michael back to Volvo Cars,' CEO Håkan Samuelsson said in a statement. 'The changes we are doing will strengthen Volvo Cars at this pivotal moment for the company and the industry.' Recommended Reading Volvo Cars' head of global design steps down
