Head-On Collisions in New Hampshire
Head-on crashes, while less common than other types of accidents, are among the most dangerous due to the high energy forces involved and the limited space for evasive action, particularly on ramps and narrow roadways. The incident in Windham highlights the risks that even brief lapses in control or navigation can pose during peak commuting hours.
Interstate 93 is one of the busiest corridors in southern New Hampshire, serving thousands of daily commuters. The Exit 3 off-ramp at Route 111 connects travelers to both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts, creating a high-traffic interchange with increased potential for congestion and confusion during high-volume periods.
Early-morning conditions, especially during the transitional hours between dawn and full daylight, often contribute to visibility issues, glare, or drowsy driving. While the full details of what caused this crash are still under investigation, head-on collisions on ramps may result from wrong-way entry, improper merging, or failure to maintain lane control.
Motorists are reminded to approach off-ramps with extra caution, especially when transitioning from high-speed interstate travel to lower-speed local roads. Keeping a safe following distance, obeying signage, and remaining alert to changing traffic patterns are all essential to preventing dangerous situations like this.
