A man is dead after he was hit by a vehicle on Interstate 93 in Salem, New Hampshire, a collision that closed the highway for several hours late Wednesday night.
State police say a passerby stopped a trooper around 11:15 p.m. to report that a pedestrian had been struck on I-93 southbound in the area of the Exit 2 on-ramp.
Troopers responded to the scene, and found the victim, who was pronounced dead on scene. His name is being withheld pending family notification. It’s unclear why he was outside a car on the busy highway.
The driver of the vehicle that was involved in the collision remained on scene and is cooperating with investigators, police said. There’s no word on if any charges will be filed.
Multiple lanes of I-93 southbound were closed for more than three hours to accommodate the on-scene investigation.
Additional details about this deadly crash haven’t been released at this time. Anyone with information that could help investigators is asked to contact Trooper Madelynn Theve at Madelynn.M.Theve@dos.nh.gov.
