Crash Clogs I-93 In Bow; 1 Taken To Concord Hospital

Interstate 93 South was backed up by traffic for about an hour after a car crashed into a concrete barrier just south of the junction.

BOW, NH — Bow EMTs and Concord firefighters were sent to Interstate 93 South in Bow, just past the junction with I-89, for a crash on Saturday.

Around 12:15 p.m., capital fire dispatch received a call about the crash — a Chevrolet sedan into a concrete barrier, possibly due to the driver having a seizure. Dispatch warned EMTs there was a dog in the vehicle that was not allowing entry. The patient was also unconscious.

According to state police scanner chatter, the troopers could not find the accident at first. But later, they found it, around Mile Marker 35.
