Crashes on New Hampshire Turnpikes
Accidents like the one that unfolded Friday morning on the Everett Turnpike are not uncommon in southern New Hampshire. High-speed travel combined with merging traffic at major exits often creates high-risk zones for collisions. Exit 1 in Nashua, located near retail and residential areas, is especially prone to traffic backups and sudden lane shifts, factors that can easily contribute to an accident.
According to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, the Everett Turnpike sees tens of thousands of vehicles daily, and crash data shows a noticeable uptick in incidents during the winter months due to slick roads and reduced visibility. Drivers navigating high-traffic corridors like this one are urged to maintain safe following distances, stay alert in merging areas, and reduce speeds in congested zones.
The emotional and physical aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming. Beyond the immediate medical concerns, many victims face long-term recovery challenges, insurance disputes, and financial burdens.
