North Hampton, NH – Four people were seriously injured in a three-vehicle collision Sunday evening on Interstate 95 in New Hampshire, causing a major traffic shutdown.
According to New Hampshire State Police, the crash occurred around 5:10 p.m. on the southbound side of I-95 near North Hampton. Troopers from the Troop A barracks responded to the scene and found a collision involving a 2009 Toyota Avalon, a 2018 GMC Sierra, and a 2019 Toyota Tacoma.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the Toyota Avalon, driven by 29-year-old Jaceline Miranda Gomes of New Bedford, Massachusetts, struck the GMC Sierra, operated by 33-year-old Anthony Crudale of Plaistow. The impact forced the Avalon across the center median and into oncoming southbound lanes, where it collided with the Tacoma, driven by 71-year-old Sandy Herbert of Newburyport, Massachusetts.
Gomes and an adult passenger in her vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries. A juvenile passenger and Herbert were also seriously injured. Crudale was reportedly unhurt.
The incident led to a full shutdown of the southbound lanes for several hours as emergency personnel rendered aid. The left lane reopened at approximately 6 p.m., with all lanes fully operational by around 10 p.m.
Assisting at the scene were members of multiple departments, including North Hampton Fire Rescue, Greenland Fire Department, and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
The crash remains under investigation by the New Hampshire State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction (CAR) Unit. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact Trooper Eryn Murphy at Eryn.K.Murphy@dos.nh.gov.
