N.H. wrong-way driver in critical condition after crash
LEBANON, N.H. (ABC22/FOX44) – One person was left in critical condition after she drove the wrong way on I-89 and crashed Tuesday afternoon.
Police first heard about a driver traveling southbound in northbound lanes near Exit 18. They say the wrong-way driver crash was reported 'less than a minute later' after initial details.
Investigators found that a 90-year-old woman had been traveling the wrong way, and hit a VW Atlas SUV, which then struck a Hyundai Sonata.
Two drivers were taken to a hospital for evaluations, and the wrong-way driver was transported there in critical condition.
The crash and subsequent investigation shut down part of I-89, but it has since reopened. No charges have been filed, but investigations continue. Anyone with information about this incident can call NH Trooper Peter Kosakowski at 603-223-3831.
