Concord, NH (November 13, 2024) – Two separate accidents occurred Tuesday night on Loudon Rd, including a vehicle-pedestrian collision that required medical transport.
The first incident was a two-vehicle crash reported around 8 p.m. at the Exit 14 on-ramp for I-93. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and emergency medical services were not required at the scene.
Shortly after, at approximately 8:30 p.m., a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near Arnie’s on Loudon Rd. Emergency responders arrived promptly and transported the injured pedestrian to a local hospital for further evaluation. Details regarding the extent of the injuries and the circumstances leading to the accident remain under investigation.
Both incidents caused temporary disruptions along Loudon Rd, especially during rainy weather conditions that likely contributed to challenging driving and walking conditions.
Our thoughts are with the injured pedestrian, and we hope for their swift and full recovery.
Pedestrian Safety and Vehicle Accidents in New Hampshire
Pedestrian-related accidents, like the recent collision on Loudon Rd, highlight the dangers road users face, especially during nighttime hours and adverse weather conditions. According to the New Hampshire Department of Safety, pedestrian-involved crashes are more likely to result in serious injuries compared to vehicle-only accidents.
In areas with heavy traffic, like Loudon Rd, both drivers and pedestrians must exercise caution. Drivers should reduce speed in pedestrian-heavy zones and stay vigilant in low-visibility conditions, while pedestrians should use designated crossings and remain aware of their surroundings.
The aftermath of a pedestrian accident often involves extensive recovery periods for victims, both physically and emotionally. Additionally, rainy conditions can exacerbate risks by reducing traction and visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. Raising awareness about safety practices and improving lighting and signage in high-traffic areas can help prevent such accidents.
