Merrimack, NH (October 3, 2024) – A serious accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon, October 2 at the intersection of Wire Road and Bedford Road, involving three vehicles, including a motorcycle. The incident took place at approximately 2:45 p.m., prompting a swift response from Merrimack Police and Merrimack Fire and Rescue.
Upon arrival at the scene, emergency responders found the motorcycle operator, identified as 36-year-old Mark McAllister of Bedford, on the ground with what appeared to be serious injuries. McAllister was operating a 2009 Harley Davidson motorcycle at the time of the accident. Fortunately, his injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening, and he was transported to Elliott Hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
The other two vehicles involved in the collision sustained heavy damage.

Motor Vehicle Accidents in New Hampshire
Motor vehicle accidents, particularly those involving motorcycles, can lead to serious injuries and long-lasting consequences for those involved. In New Hampshire, the number of motorcycle accidents has been a growing concern, with many incidents resulting from factors such as driver inattention, speeding, and failure to yield the right of way.
In cases like this, where a motorcyclist is involved, the risks are significantly heightened. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable on the road, lacking the protective structure that cars and trucks provide. As a result, they are at a greater risk of sustaining severe injuries during collisions.
Statistics indicate that motorcycle accidents often lead to serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and spinal injuries. It is crucial for motorcyclists to wear proper safety gear, including helmets, and for all drivers to remain vigilant and attentive while sharing the road.
