Motor Vehicle Crash - Route 3A, Hill

On Monday January 3, 2022 at approximately 11:43 A.M. New Hampshire State Police Troop D was requested to respond to a report of a two vehicle collision in the area of 875 Route 3A in the town of Hill, New Hampshire. Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered a Honda Accord in the middle of the roadway with significant damage. The second vehicle involved was an E-350 motor home which caught on fire and was fully engulfed in flames on the side of the road after the collision.

The lone operator of the Honda Accord was entrapped within the vehicle and needed to be extricated by the Bristol Fire and the Hill Fire department. The operator was transported to Concord Hospital for serious bodily injuries.

The lone operator of the E-350 motor home was able to self-evacuate the vehicle before it became fully engulfed. The operator was transported to Speare Memorial hospital after suffering some burns and smoke inhalation.
