WAKEFIELD, N.H. — Wakefield Fire/Rescue transported four patients to Huggins Hospital following a two-car crash just after 9:00 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of Route 16 and Wakefield Road/Gage Hill Road. Crews arrived to find both vehicles in the ditch on the Gage Hill Road side, with one vehicle on its roof.

According to the department, Ossipee Corner Fire Department and Action Ambulance were initially requested for mutual aid. Ossipee Corner was canceled after units assessed the scene. Once responders confirmed patient count and injury severity, a fourth ambulance was requested, and Milton Fire-Rescue was added to the response.

Ambulance operations were coordinated among Wakefield A1 and A2, Action Ambulance, and Milton Fire-Rescue’s ambulance. In total, four patients were transported to Huggins Hospital. Wakefield personnel also obtained a signed refusal from a fifth patient at the scene. A photo provided by the department showed all four ambulances staged at Huggins, with Wakefield A1 stacked in front of Wakefield A2 due to space constraints on the emergency department ramp.

In addition to the transporting units, Wakefield placed Rescue 1, Engine 2, Engine 4, and Utility 1 on scene alongside the Wakefield Police Department. The department expressed appreciation to its responding members, mutual aid partners, and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers for incident support.

No additional information was released regarding contributing factors, roadway conditions, or the extent of injuries beyond the transports and one on-scene sign-off. The department’s summary did not report secondary hazards, extended closures, or further resource needs after the initial rescue, transport, and scene stabilization.

This report reflects the incident details provided by Wakefield Fire/Rescue: time and location, initial findings (two vehicles in the ditch with one rollover), mutual aid requests and cancelation, the call for a fourth ambulance, four transports to Huggins Hospital, one refusal, and the apparatus and agencies that operated at the scene.
