Wrong-Way Driver Causes Serious Wreck on I-93 in Concord, NH

Concord, NH (July 1, 2026) – A two-vehicle crash involving two rollovers left at least one person seriously hurt on Interstate 93 South near Concord on Tuesday, July 1. The wreck happened around 1:10 p.m., roughly 1,000 feet south of the Exit 16 overpass.

One person had to be extricated from a vehicle before being taken to Concord Hospital. A trauma alert was issued for that patient.

No names were released following the collision, and the number of people in either vehicle was not confirmed in the initial report.

However, investigators are working to determine what caused the accident.

We hope those hurt make a full and speedy recovery.

I-93 in Concord, NH: Why This High-Traffic Road Is a Common Scenario for Crashes

Interstate 93 is one of New Hampshire’s most heavily traveled north-south corridors, running through the heart of Merrimack County and passing directly through Concord, the state capital. The highway covers just over 131 miles within New Hampshire, connecting communities from Salem near the Massachusetts border north through Manchester and Concord, continuing to Tilton, Plymouth, Littleton, and ultimately reaching Vermont.

In Concord specifically, I-93 intersects with several major routes: Interstate 89 branches northwest from a half-cloverleaf interchange near Bow Junction, serving western Concord and points toward Lebanon and Vermont, and Interstate 393 spurs east from I-93 at Concord’s Exit 15, running concurrently with US Route 4 and US 202 toward Pembroke.

That puts a lot of different drivers on the same stretch of I-93: commuters, truckers, and people passing through on longer trips.

That volume comes with risk. According to a report by TRIP, a national transportation research group, traffic deaths in New Hampshire rose 42% between 2014 and 2024, with the fatality rate climbing 36% over that same period. In raw numbers, that means going from 35 deaths in 2014 to 135 in 2024.

TRIP attributed the rise largely to increases in distracted, impaired, and speeding-related driving, and estimated that serious and fatal crashes cost the state roughly $11 billion over the decade.

Rollover crashes, such as this one near Exit 16 in Concord, can result in severe trauma. What’s more, rollover crashes tend to produce some of the most severe injuries seen in traffic accidents. The most common include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and lacerations from shattered glass.
