Car Slams Into Target Front in Concord, New Hampshire

On Monday afternoon, a car hurtled into the front entrance of the Target store on Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire, sending a jarring “smash” echoing through the parking lot.

First‑responders arrived quickly, confirming that the occupants of the vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital. Details about how many people were inside the car or the severity of their injuries have not yet been released.

Fortunately, no customers or employees inside the store were harmed. The store’s management decided to keep its doors open, and shoppers continued to browse while police and fire crews worked at the scene.

Witnesses in the parking lot described the sounds they heard. One shopper said, “I literally heard a bang and thought, ‘No way, that’s probably a crash.’ At first I thought it was somewhere else.” Another added, “It sounded like someone was doing donuts, then we just heard a big smash.”

Authorities have not disclosed what caused the crash. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and speaking with the driver, but a clear picture of why the car veered into the storefront remains elusive.
