Nov. 17 -- A motor vehicle rollover Saturday night on the Circumferential Highway in Nashua sent two people to area hospitals with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
One was airlifted to Lahey Hospital in Burlington, Mass., after she was thrown from the car during the crash.
At around 11:20 p.m., Nashua Fire and Rescue, Nashua Police and State Police responded to a report of a single vehicle off the road and down an embankment, with one occupant ejected.
State Troopers said that a red 2022 Hyundai Kano drive by Ian Odea, 26, of Hudson had been travelling eastbound on the Circumferential Highway when it left the off-ramp to Daniel Webster Highway, crossed an on-ramp, went over a guardrail, then rolled down a steep embankment toward railroad tracks beside the Merrimack River.
During the rollover, a passenger, Laura Gomes Duhan, 26, of Haverhill, Mass., was thrown from the car, according to the police report.
Odea was transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center on a trauma alert. Duhan was airlifted by Boston MedFlight to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. To enable the helicopter to land, all lanes on both sides of the Circumferential Highway and the on- and off-ramps to Daniel Webster Highway were closed.
All aspects of the crash are being investigated. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper First Class Tyler Duhamel at 603-223-4381 or [email protected].
