MANCHESTER, NH – A crash involving a dump truck rollover closed part of 293 North in Manchester Thursday for more than two hours, and left the driver with injuries, according to police.
Manchester Fire, AMR and New Hampshire State Police responded to the crash on 293 North, at mile marker .04 which is just South of the 93 South merge at about 8 a.m.
Traffic between 93 South and the accident on 293 completely shutdown that portion of the highway. Firefighters and AMR personnel provided medical aid to the driver of the truck who had what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries and he was transported to a local hospital by AMR ambulance.
State Police stopped traffic on 93 South temporarily so that vehicles could be turned around on 293 to exit the closed section of highway.
Manchester firefighters worked to mitigate fluids leaking from the rolled over truck. Blais Towing was dispatched to the scene to roll the dump truck over.
After the truck was uprighted NH DOT workers used a plow truck to push the sand to the side of the highway, and workers used gas powered blowers to remove the remaining sand.
At about 10:15 a.m. the highway was able to be reopened. The accident is being investigated by New Hampshire State Police.
