New Hampshire man crashes car driving 90 mph while drunk, police say
A man who crashed his pickup truck Friday morning in New Hampshire while driving more than 90 mph was subsequently arrested on his third DWI charge, according to state police.
Kenneth England, 35, of Littleton, New Hampshire, has been charged with driving while intoxicated, having an open container, and refusing to take a requested blood test, police said.
England was traveling southbound on I-93 near Northfield when he veered off the left side of the road and hit the median, according to police. The truck then crossed into the opposite lane and struck the right side rail, rolling several times and flying through the air, before hitting several trees. Multiple witnesses told police they had seen the truck driving speeds they estimated to be well over 90 mph.
The truck came to a stop about 25 feet into the woods after ejecting England, who was later taken to Concord Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said England was arrested at the hospital and later released on bail. He is due back in court Nov. 10.
