On Tuesday August 4, 2020 at approximately 8:14 a.m., Troopers from the New Hampshire State Police Troop-A barracks responded to a tractor-trailer rollover crash on the Route 101 eastbound off- ramp to Interstate 95. Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2006 Freightliner hauling a loaded trailer rolled over as it exited Route 101 toward I-95. It appears speed was a factor in the causation of this rollover crash. However, all aspects remain under investigation.
The operator, Jose Martinez, age 46 of Bristol, Connecticut was transported to Exeter Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The off-ramp was closed for over six hours while Troopers investigated the crash and the tractor-trailer was removed from the scene. All traffic was diverted to Exit 13 during the ramp closure, with minimal impact to the motoring public.
Assisting Troop-A at the scene were, NH State Police-Troop-G, the Hampton Police Department, the Hampton Fire Department, NH Department of Transportation, NH Department of Environmental Services and New England Truck Center.
Anyone with information pertaining to this crash is asked to contact Trooper Erik Willett, NH State Police, Troop-A at (603) 223-8490, or via email at erik.willett@dos.nh.gov.
