This past Sunday evening, a 47-year-old New Hampshire man driving on Chester Road struck a motorcycle carrying a young girl and her grandfather. The 6-year-old girl was taken to the Boston Children’s Hospital with a serious leg injury. Her grandfather sustained both leg and chest injuries, but was listed in fair condition by Exeter Hospital as of Monday afternoon.
Police arrested the driver and charged him with aggravated driving under the influence (DUI). The driver called 911 himself because of his remorse about the crash, and admitted to crossing the center line on Chester Road – an area that neighbors have described as “tricky with blind curves.”
Drunk drivers never intend to harm anyone on the road, but all the same, their choice to get behind the wheel when intoxicated is their choice alone, and the reckless endangerment that follows is their responsibility.
