Man From Vermont Dies Days After Crash; NH Teen Charged: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A driver from Vermont died this week after a crash with a teenager accused of drunken driving on Aug. 11 in Plainfield.

Around 8 p.m., Plainfield police requested the assistance of New Hampshire State Police after a crash at the intersection of Route 12A and Beauty Hill Road.

The preliminary investigation determined the driver of a 2025 Toyota Tacoma, identified as Michael Martin III, 18, of Claremont, was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed when he crashed into a tan 2013 Chevrolet Silverado, according to State Police. Clayton Ezequelle, 53, of White River Junction, Vermont, the driver of the Silverado, suffered life-threatening injuries. Martin and a passenger were also seriously injured. All three were transported to a regional hospital for treatment.

Martin was later arrested on charges of felony aggravated driving while intoxicated, felony reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, and other violation-level offenses. He was scheduled to be arraigned in Claremont District Court on Aug. 12.

On Aug. 13, Ezequelle died from injuries suffered in the crash, state police said.

Troopers were assisted by members of the Plainfield police and fire departments, the Lebanon police and fire departments, the Cornish Fire Department, and Windsor VT Fire/EMS.

DPW Director Indicted For Theft

A former Madison town official has been indicted on a felony theft charge after an investigation the town requested earlier this year.

A Carroll County Grand Jury returned an indictment of Joshua Shackford, formerly of Madison, for theft by unauthorized taking, a Class B felony, on July 17. Shackford had served as the town’s department of public works director.

The case began in January, when state police received a request from the town to investigate a possible theft involving the town’s public works director. State police then took over the investigation.

Shackford was scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 13.
