Candia, NH – Route 101 eastbound has reopened after multiple weather-related crashes shut down the highway for roughly two hours Friday evening, according to New Hampshire State Police.
At around 5 p.m. on Nov. 28, 2025, troopers from the Troop A Barracks responded to reports of two multi-vehicle crashes just east of Exit 3 in Candia. Four drivers from the first collision and eight from the second were all treated for minor injuries, and all vehicles were towed from the scene.
Police said six additional crashes occurred in the same area while the initial scenes were being cleared. Investigators believe icy road conditions and unsafe speeds were key factors.
Emergency crews from Candia, Auburn, and Raymond fire and police departments assisted in the response, along with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. The eastbound lanes were closed for about two hours before reopening around 7:15 p.m.
Troopers are reminding drivers to slow down and check tire tread before traveling, as more wintry weather is expected this weekend.
