A head-on crash sent three people to the hospital in New Hampshire, and the whole thing was caught on dashcam footage.

Pelham police say authorities were called to the scene near 155 Shelburne Road at around 4:35 p.m. Tuesday.

Two people in one of the vehicles, a 2006 Kia Sorento, were injured and sitting outside the vehicle when officials arrived, police said.

Carl Webster, 53, of Hudson, New Hampshire, was driving the Kia at the time of the crash with one passenger, Diana Simonetti, 58, also of Hudson. The Kia was traveling eastbound when it crossed over the double yellow line for an undetermined reason, police said, striking a 2017 Dodge pickup truck driven by Peterson Campbell, 27, of Pelham, head on; the dashcam was in the pickup truck.

Both vehicles sustained heavy damage – the Kia went up an embankment and its airbags deployed, according to authorities.

Webster was brought to the hospital with what police believed were serious injuries while Simonetti was treated for “superficial injuries.” Campbell’s injuries weren’t life-threatening; he went to a nearby hospital and was released, police said.

Webster was cited for crossing the center line, according to officials.
