Crash Results In DWI Arrest

MANCHESTER, N.H. – A Manchester man was arrested for driving impaired after a crash involving a vehicle hauling a horse. At 12:53 p.m. today, June 10, State Troopers from the Troop B barracks responded to a report of a crash along Interstate 293 North near mile marker 1.2 in the city of Manchester.

Upon arrival, Troopers determined that Adam Rollins-Ramirez, 23, of Manchester, was operating a 2005 Scion TC Coupe when he struck a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck being operated by Gretchen Anderson, 56, of New Boston. At the time of the crash, the Silverado was towing a horse trailer transporting one horse.

The initial impact caused the horse trailer to tip over onto its side, where it became disabled in the middle of the road. The owner of the horse and several other witnesses were eventually able to remove the horse from inside the trailer. The horse sustained a laceration to its lower leg. There were no injuries to either driver.

The New Hampshire State Police was assisted on the scene by members of the Manchester Fire Department and American Medical Response. Lane closures impacted traffic in the area for approximately an hour and 15 minutes.

The primary contributing factor of the crash appears to be impairment. Rollins-Ramirez was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). He is scheduled to be arraigned in Manchester District Court on July 15, 2024 at 8 a.m. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who has any additional information that could assist in the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Thomas Skafidas at (603) 451-9765 or Thomas.W.Skafidas@dos.nh.gov.
