A Thanksgiving Day Interruption: Three-Vehicle Crash in Chichester

Thanksgiving Day, a time usually brimming with the warmth of family gatherings, delicious feasts, and quiet gratitude, took an unexpected turn for some travelers passing through Chichester, New Hampshire. Just as many were likely settling down for their holiday meals, or perhaps making their way home, a serious three-vehicle crash unfolded, momentarily disrupting the festive, peaceful atmosphere.

The incident, which certainly grabbed attention, occurred around 3 p.m. on Thursday, right there on Route 4, specifically near its intersection with North Road. It sounds like quite a scene, involving three separate vehicles, though thankfully – and this is always a relief to hear – initial reports indicate that most of the injuries sustained were relatively minor.

One individual, however, a 73-year-old woman, did require a trip to Concord Hospital for treatment. It’s always concerning when someone needs medical attention, particularly on a day dedicated to family and well-being. Emergency crews, including personnel from the Chichester Police and Fire departments, along with Tri-Town EMS, were on the scene swiftly, managing the situation efficiently and providing necessary care.

As you might imagine, with multiple vehicles involved and emergency personnel working diligently, Route 4 had to be closed down for approximately an hour. This undoubtedly caused some delays and reroutes for those traveling through the area on what is typically a busy holiday for road trips. While the immediate aftermath has been handled, the Chichester Police are still very much in the process of investigating exactly what led to this collision. They haven't yet released any specific details regarding the cause of the accident.

In fact, the police are actively reaching out to the public, hoping to gather any information from potential witnesses who might have seen the crash or anything leading up to it. If you happened to be in the area around 3 p.m. that Thanksgiving Day and observed something, even something seemingly small, Cpl. Jonathan Tyler of the Chichester Police Department would truly appreciate you reaching out to them. Every little bit of information can help piece together the full picture.
