Sutton, NH – A pedestrian suffered serious injuries Tuesday evening after an alleged hit-and-run on Route 103 in Sutton, leading to the arrest of a Newbury woman, according to New Hampshire State Police.

State Troopers assigned to the Troop D barracks responded to the crash at approximately 6:48 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, after receiving a report that a woman walking along Route 103 had been struck by a westbound vehicle that immediately fled the scene. The victim was transported to a local hospital and is being treated for significant injuries.

According to State Police, an initial investigation indicated the suspect vehicle was an older-model Toyota sedan. That information was shared with nearby departments. With help from both the Bradford and Newbury police departments, troopers located a 1994 Toyota Camry at a residence in Newbury with damage consistent with the crash.

Troopers made contact with Heaven Martin, 24, of Newbury, at the home. Police say Martin was allegedly driving the Toyota at the time of the collision. She was arrested and charged with aggravated DUI and felony conduct after an accident.

The investigation remains active. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Trooper Kevin Belanger at (603) 223-4381 or Kevin.J.Belanger@dos.nh.gov.

Residents in the Sutton and Newbury area are encouraged to share any dashcam footage or roadside observations from Tuesday evening that may assist investigators.
