NORTHFIELD — Merrimack County Sheriff Scott Hilliard was involved in a single car accident with his unmarked cruiser Sunday night at 10:45 p.m. on Rand Road not far from his home.
Northfield Police Chief John Raffaelly said police from both Tilton and Northfield responded to the crash.
Hilliard said he swerved to avoid hitting a deer and went off the road, rolling over the cruiser.
Raffaelly said Hilliard reported scrapes to one of his arms and declined treatment. The next day, Hilliard went to the hospital and was treated with a broken sternum.
The car was towed that night by Rusty's Towing but Raffaelly said he doesn't know where it is being stored.
He said the investigation into the crash is closed.
