WINDHAM, N.H. (AP) — Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in an Interstate 93 crash in New Hampshire that killed two people in Windham, state police said Monday.

A Jeep Grand Cherokee veered left to right across the southbound highway, struck a guardrail and broke through it shortly before 5 a.m., police said. The vehicle rolled down an embankment and came to rest about 100 yards off the road.

Both occupants were ejected and suffered fatal injuries, police said. They were identified as Lesley Martinez Velazquez, 23, and Sasha Peralta, 31, both of Lawrence, Massachusetts.
