NH Man Killed On Interstate 93 By Passing Car After Fleeing Troopers, New Hampshire State Police Say

MANCHESTER, NH — A Queen City man is dead after reportedly fleeing from state police and being hit by a car on Interstate 93 in Manchester on Wednesday night.

Around 11:45 p.m., state police attempted to stop the driver of a 2026 Toyota Camry on Interstate 93 north in Manchester for driving at a high rate of speed. The driver refused to stop and was pursued by the trooper. Later, the chase was discontinued after the car left the highway at Exit 6.

Not long after, state police said, the car was seen on the Hanover Street Connector, where it crashed. The trooper approached the scene, and the driver of the car fled the area on foot, climbed the embankment to the Interstate, and entered the northbound lane of traffic, according to the report. The man was then struck by the driver of a Hyundai Elantra, a man from Epsom, state police said.

The Epsom man pulled over and called 911, state police said. Fire and rescue teams arrived and pronounced the Queen City man dead. The driver of the Elantra was not injured. State police said he cooperated fully with the investigation.

Due to the severity of the crash, the department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit was requested and assumed the lead on the investigation.

State police have not released the name of the man from Manchester who was struck and killed “pending the ongoing investigation.”

Anyone who witnessed the collision or who has information that might assist the investigation was asked to contact Trooper Eric Torrens at eric.m.torrens@dos.nh.gov.
