Police: 35 Vehicles Caught in 2 New Hampshire Pileups

ASHLAND, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire State Police spokesman says 35 vehicles are involved in two separate pileups on Interstate 93 after some fast-moving snow squalls.

Lt. Jerry Maslan says there have been some injuries, but they are not considered to be life-threatening. Calls about the accidents started coming in at about 9:45 a.m. Friday.

Maslan said one of the crashes involved a truck trailer that caught fire after a vehicle went underneath it. It wasn’t known what the trailer was carrying, but aerial footage of the crashes show boxes strewn about and crumpled cars.

The accidents happened in the northbound lanes in and near Ashland. The lanes are currently closed to traffic.

Snow has been falling on and off in the state and parts of the highway are snow-covered.
