Wolfeboro police investigating 2 car accidents on Thursday

WOLFEBORO — Police are investigating two separate car wrecks which occurred on Thursday. Both resulted in injuries, and no charges have been filed.  

Just after 7 a.m. on Nov. 13, police responded to a two-vehicle collision in the area of 633 Main St., according to a press release. A Hyundai Kona traveling north apparently crossed the center line, striking a Ford Escape in the opposing lane, forcing the vehicle off the road.

Police shut down the road long enough to have both vehicles towed. Minor injuries were reported, and the crash is under investigation.  

Just before noon on Nov. 13, police responded to a head-on collision just north of Kingswood Regional High School on South Main Street. Officers learned a Cadillac STS traveling north crossed into the opposing lane, and struck a GMC Sierra head-on.

Four patients were transported to Huggins Hospital, and officers shut down the road for about 45 minutes while both vehicles, by that point disabled, were towed away from the scene. The cause of the crash is under investigation. 

Though they occurred just a short distance apart, the two wrecks were not related, and police say neither speed nor impairment due to drugs or alcohol were contributing factors. In each crash, an involved vehicle crossed over the center line and police are working to determine why, Chief Christopher Warn said Monday morning.

Any potential citations would be given following the police investigation, Warn said.  

Anyone with information about either accident should contact Sgt. Michael Strauch at 603-569-1444.
