Single-Vehicle Rollover Crash On I-293

MANCHESTER, N.H. – One person was taken to the hospital following a rollover crash on Interstate 293.

At 2:35 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, 2024, State Troopers from the Troop B barracks in Bedford, along with members of the Manchester Fire Department and EMS providers, responded to a rollover crash on I-293 southbound on the Brown Avenue overpass in Manchester.

Upon arrival, Troopers found the driver of a silver 2004 Ford Explorer trapped inside the vehicle. The driver, identified as Alexandria Ellis, 53, of Manchester, was freed from the vehicle by firefighters and was transported to Elliot Hospital with minor injuries.
