A 44-year-old man is dead after an overnight crash on the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Nashua, New Hampshire.
State police say a passerby alerted them around 1:12 a.m. Sunday after witnessing the single-vehicle crash on the northbound side of the turnpike. Responding troopers found a Kia Sorento and one person inside who was pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified as Christopher Duval, of Merrimack.
According to a preliminary investigation, state police say Duval lost control of his vehicle while traveling in the far-right lane in the area of Exit 8. The Kia crossed multiple lanes to the left and collided head-on with the center median barrier, police said.
Duval died from his injuries in the crash.
Nashua police and fire departments assisted state police on scene, where the left two lanes north of Exit 8 were closed for approximately two hours as they investigated.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Additional witnesses or anyone else with information that could be helpful to investigators are asked to contact Trooper Madelynn Davis at Madelynn.M.Davis@dos.nh.gov or 603-223-4381.
Later Sunday in New Hampshire, there was another fatal crash, this time in Salem. Three people were pronounced dead in a crash on an offramp of Interstate 93, state police said.
