CONCORD, N.H. — A tragic single‑vehicle accident on Fisk Road claimed the life of a driver Friday night. According to the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office, the vehicle left the roadway, collided with a stone wall and nearby trees, and then came to rest in a field where it caught fire.
Emergency responders arrived quickly, but the driver was unable to escape the burning vehicle. The fire was extinguished, and investigators are now working to determine the exact cause of the crash.
Investigation Details
