Two Car Accidents During Morning Commute

The first occurred on July 5th, 2018, at approximately 8:10am, Pelham Police and the Pelham Fire Department responded to Bridge St. in the area of Vassar Dr. for a report of a motor vehicle that had just struck an elderly female walking. Once emergency personnel were on scene, the road was shut down between Wellesley Dr. and Vassar Dr.  

There was only one motor vehicle involved at the time of the crash. It was operated by Noah Boudreault, age 31 of Milford, NH.  Boudreault had been driving northbound on Bridge St. when he briefly lost sight of the roadway due to the sun. When Boudreault could see more clearly, he observed a 71 year old female walking. Boudreault realized he was about to strike the female who was walking on the side of the road and corrected his vehicle in attempt to avoid a collision. It was then that the vehicle made contact with the female walker, pushing her to the ground. Boudreault immediately stopped his vehicle and called 911. Boudreault went to the aid of the elderly female and remained with her until the ambulance arrived. The injured female remained conscious and alert while being prepared to be transported to Southern New Hampshire Regional Hospital with a leg injury. Boudreault is cooperating fully with police as the crash remains under investigation. Speed and/or alcohol or drugs do not appear to factors in the crash.

The second car crash occurred at approximately 8:42am, Pelham Police and the Pelham Fire Department responded to the area of 28 Leonard Dr. for a report of a motor vehicle that had stuck a utility pole.

The vehicle, operated by Ellen Cooper age 62, was traveling west on Leonard Dr. with two minor children and two K-9’s in the vehicle. It was when Cooper approached a turn in the road that one of the unsecured K-9’s jumped into the front seat. This then caused Cooper to swerve off the roadway and into a tree before coming to rest by a utility pole. Heavy damage resulted on the vehicle and no injuries were sustained in the crash. The two minor children were in proper child restraints at the time of the crash.   

 Any questions can be directed to Sgt. Glen E. Chase or Lt. Anne Perriello at (603)635-2411.
