NASHUA, N.H. – One person is deceased following an early-morning crash on the F.E. Everett Turnpike.

At 1:12 a.m. today, Nov. 24, 2024, State Troopers assigned to the Troop B barracks responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on the northbound side of the turnpike in Nashua. The crash was reported by a passerby who witnessed the crash.
