Multi-Vehicle Collisions in New Hampshire
The three-vehicle collision on Rte 293 SB in Manchester highlights the elevated risks of driving in high-speed lanes on New Hampshire’s highways. Mile marker 1.2 is situated in a heavily traveled corridor where congestion, rapid lane changes, and high traffic volumes are common—particularly during peak hours.
Crashes involving multiple vehicles are often the result of a chain reaction, where one sudden stop or collision can set off a series of impacts. While no entrapments were reported in Tuesday’s crash, the fact that EMS crews were on-site evaluating multiple people points to the physical toll such crashes can still have—even in the absence of severe structural damage.
Manchester, as one of the state’s largest cities, sees regular traffic surges on its urban highways. Route 293 plays a crucial role in connecting commuters across the region, which makes safety protocols and driver alertness even more critical in this area. Accidents in the high-speed lane are especially dangerous due to limited reaction time and the force of potential impacts.
For those affected by multi-vehicle accidents, recovery often involves more than just physical healing. Insurance claims can become complicated when multiple parties are involved, and legal questions frequently arise about fault and liability.
