Concord, NH (September 9, 2025) – A woman in her early 40s sustained serious injuries Sunday night after being struck by a vehicle while walking along Manchester St near Garvins Falls Rd and Centerwood Dr. The collision occurred just before 9:30 p.m., prompting a large emergency response and a full roadway closure during the investigation.
According to Concord Police, the woman suffered head and hip injuries after being hit by a Toyota Highlander. The vehicle, registered to a Goffstown woman, was driven by a man in his early 50s who remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. A male companion was reportedly walking with the victim at the time of the crash.
Capital Region Fire Dispatch noted that a passing doctor—identified as a Good Samaritan—rendered aid to the victim until EMTs arrived. Emergency medical crews evaluated the woman and transported her to Concord Hospital for further treatment. Officers at the scene expressed concern about the victim’s state, noting that she was conscious but disoriented and potentially combative due to her condition.
Police closed Manchester St for several hours as they processed the scene, interviewed witnesses, and collected evidence. The investigation remains ongoing, and no charges have been announced at this time.
We send our best wishes for a full and swift recovery to the injured pedestrian.
Pedestrian Accidents in Concord and Urban New Hampshire
Collisions involving pedestrians continue to pose serious risks across New Hampshire, especially during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced. Sunday’s crash on Manchester St illustrates how quickly an ordinary walk can turn tragic—particularly in areas without fully protected pedestrian crossings or adequate lighting.
Manchester St is a busy corridor on Concord’s south side, with vehicle traffic often moving at moderate-to-high speeds. When pedestrians are struck on roads like this, the resulting injuries are often severe, especially when involving head or pelvic trauma. In this incident, the quick actions of a nearby doctor may have helped stabilize the victim before EMS transport.
Pedestrian victims frequently experience complex recoveries, involving hospital stays, rehabilitation, and emotional trauma. For some, returning to normal life can take months or longer. In addition, pedestrian crashes often spark legal investigations into fault, lighting conditions, driver behavior, and pedestrian awareness.
Crucially, even when drivers stay on scene and cooperate—as occurred here—victims and their families must secure accurate documentation and supportive resources to navigate the aftermath.
