The crash remains under investigation, but the preliminary report suggests James Navarro, who was driving a white Dodge Ram, was traveling southbound when he suddenly crossed the median and entered the northbound lanes of the highway, where he crashed into a brown GMC Sierra and a white Nissan Versa. A passenger in the GMC Sierra was taken to the hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
No charges have been filed at this time, and “all aspects” of the crash remain under investigation, according to police. Anyone with information can contact Trooper Abigail Wells at 603-223-4381 or [email protected].
