Seabrook Man Charged With Negligent Homicide After Crash

HAMPTON FALLS, NH — New Hampshire State Police have charged a Seacoast man with negligent homicide and other charges after a fatal crash in Hampton Falls Saturday.

At just after 11:30 a.m., state police were sent to Kensington Road in Hampton Falls for a report of a crash, according to Sgt. James O'Leary of Troop A. O'Leary said it was determined that Earl Ganoe Jr., 40, of Seabrook, "was traveling west on Kensington Road when he lost control of his vehicle striking a guardrail, a rock wall, and ultimately a utility pole."

Ganoe was taken to Exeter Hospital after being injured but a passenger died during the crash. The passenger's name is being withheld until the next of kin can be notified, O'Leary said.

The road was closed for about four hours during the investigation.

Ganoe was arrested at the hospital and charged with felony negligent homicide, manslaughter, aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated-subsequent, reckless conduct, falsifying physical evidence, operating after suspension, and operating without a valid license.

State police were assisted by Hampton Falls police, Seabrook police, Kensington police, and the Hampton Falls Fire Department.

O'Leary all aspects of the crash remain under investigation — "including causation, however it does appear that alcohol was a factor in the crash."
