First responders took McKay and a passenger in Waite’s car to a hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, the release said. They also took Waite to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said they are still investigating why the Outback veered off the road, but have charged McKay with felony and misdemeanor DUIs, reckless conduct, and vehicular assault.
Police arrested McKay at the hospital, but released him on personal recognizance bail to the hospital for further treatment, the release said. He will be arraigned in Rockingham District Court at a later date.
Police closed all but the breakdown lane of I-95 south for two and a half hours following the crash to facilitate the necessary medical response and clean up the abundant debris.
