Interstate Accidents in New Hampshire
Accidents on interstates like I-293 can be especially dangerous due to the combination of high speeds, dense traffic, and limited room for sudden maneuvers. When crashes occur during busy commuting hours, the risk to drivers increases significantly, not only due to the collision itself but also from secondary incidents caused by abrupt slowdowns and lane shifts.
The stretch of I-293 near the Bridge Street overpass is a well-traveled corridor for both local commuters and through traffic connecting to I-93 and Route 101. Accidents in this area are often the result of sudden lane changes, merging traffic, or driver inattention, especially during morning rush hours when congestion is common and visibility can be affected by glare or weather conditions.
While Monday’s crash is still under investigation, it serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a safe following distance and staying alert behind the wheel, particularly in high-speed environments. Even a brief moment of distraction or misjudgment can lead to collisions with serious consequences.
Injury crashes, even when appearing minor, can have lasting effects. Neck and back injuries, concussions, and emotional trauma are common in interstate collisions. Victims are urged to seek prompt medical care and document the crash thoroughly for health and legal purposes.
