Sullivan, NH — A Chichester teenager sustained serious injuries in a single-vehicle crash early Monday morning on Route 9 in Sullivan.
State Troopers responded to the accident near Valley Road around 4:27 a.m. They discovered that 19-year-old Ayslin Claudio lost control of a 2023 Toyota Tacoma while heading westbound. Claudio’s vehicle failed to navigate a curve, left the road, struck a large boulder, and rolled several times.
Emergency responders from Sullivan Fire & Rescue and Keene Fire Department arrived quickly. They extracted Claudio from the wrecked vehicle. A medical helicopter then transported Claudio to Concord Hospital as a precaution, due to the severity and unknown nature of the injuries.
Authorities closed Route 9 for several hours to conduct an investigation. Speeding and reckless driving are suspected as primary causes of the crash, according to state police.
Officials are asking anyone who witnessed the accident to contact Trooper Troy Couillard at (603) 358-3333 or via email at Troy.J.Couillard@dos.nh.gov.
