Police and fire crews responded to a serious motor-vehicle crash at Main Street and East/West Pine Street in Plaistow, where two vehicles overturned, an adult female required a complex extrication, and two patients were airlifted to trauma centers.
According to the releases, 911 calls came in at approximately 3:42–3:43 p.m. The Plaistow Emergency Communications Center dispatched a Box Alarm, sending on-duty units and recalling off-duty personnel. Responders found four vehicles involved across a widespread scene, including one on its side with the driver pinned. The adult female’s extrication required additional resources and took about 40 minutes.
Patient care and transport:
Two patients were transported by ground to area hospitals.
One pediatric patient and one adult patient were flown to trauma centers.
Injuries ranged from minor to life-threatening.
Resources on scene included 4 ambulances, Plaistow Engines, C1, C4, ALS1, and CERT. Haverhill Fire provided heavy rescue and a shift commander and assisted with extrication. A landing zone approximately a mile away was coordinated for air medical. Station coverage was provided by the Town of Danville Fire Department. Additional assistance or support was noted from Haverhill, Newton, and Atkinson fire departments, and Lawrence General Hospital for ambulances. Plaistow Police managed scene control and patient counts, and an off-duty Kingston Fire Department captain also assisted.
The case remains under active investigation with assistance from the New Hampshire State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit. At this time, names and additional details are not being released. Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Tim D’Entremont at (603) 382-1200.
