Intoxicated NH Driver Dragged Under Truck On I-95: Cops

GREENLAND, NH — An intoxicated New Hampshire driver was arrested Thursday morning after crashing into a tractor-trailer on Interstate 95 in Greenland, according to police. Kyle Lehoullier, 23, of Rochester, was dragged for "several hundred feet" after hitting the undercarriage of the trailer with his truck, police Lt. John Hennessey said in a statement. Lehoullier was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with minor injuries and charged with driving while intoxicated.

The crash happened at about 1 a.m. on the northbound side of the highway. Hennessey said Lehoullier swerved across multiple lanes and slammed his Dodge Dakota into the Peterbilt truck.

"The force of this impact caused the Dodge Dakota to become wedged under the trailer resulting in it being dragged for several hundred feet," Hennessey said in a statement.

The tractor-trailer driver, a 48-year-old Canadian man, was able to stop his vehicle safely, according to Hennessey. He was not injured.

A mix of freezing rain and snow fell on the area in the hours leading up to the crash.

Lehoullier was released on bond pending an arraignment Feb. 20 in Portsmouth District Court.
