One fatal unfortunately
Accident occurred near the Merrymeeting Campground, about a mile east of the Alton Circle near Heron Point Road. We heard the call for a DART helicopter which was subsequently cancelled due to a "signal 22" (deceased person).
WMUR is not saying much more on this mornings news, other than more info should be available today (Monday). So sad.

Do you know what time that accident happened? Because we were coming home from Laconia around 1:30 and saw a lot of emergency vehicles headed up Rte 11. We thought maybe someone had heatstroke or fell or something at Mt. Major. There were tons of people hiking. I wonder if this was a different incident or the same accident??

I travel Route 11 a lot at 55 to 60 miles per hour. Needless to say , many times the cars pile up behind me. Why they have to do 10 miles over the speed limit, whether 30 or 70, is beyond me. I have had them pass me and two other cars in about the same place. They must be doing between 80 and 85 to pass 3 of us. Normally I see them stopped at the traffic light in Farmington.

We hiked Mt. Major yesterday as well and when we got down the FD/EMS where just as little south of the main entrance. It was a humid hike and we turned around and came down, never made it to the summit. We saw no activity on the blue. |

So the ambulance and fire trucks I saw south of the Mt Major parking around 1:45 PM on Sunday, were not related to the head-on pickup truck accident?
It is a shame that a person was killed and others were seriously hurt in this accident. Does anyone know what happened near Mt Major? BTW how do we know that anyone was speeding, or if someone was they caused the accident? The only speeding anyone reported on this thread was the police. |

Rt 11 closed
My wife and I were heading to Minge Cove around 11 AM yesterday morning just leaving Alton Village when two Alton Police SUV's went flying by us towards the lake. As we went by Amilyne's, the traffic slowed and we totally stopped in front of Pop's. Fire trucks came by then ambulances. We shut off the engine and just waited. While we were sitting we saw the Mount pull up and dock. A few minutes later the road reopened and traffic began to move. We noted no cleanup or any aftermath of an accident and wondered if it might have been a medical emergency either in the water on on the Mount.

My youngest son was the driver of the vehicle directly behind the truck that swerved over the center line and crashed head-on into the two teenagers who had just stopped at Johnson's for ice cream. My son is the one who first called 911. He said it was pretty gruesome and expected at least one fatality.

This same truck that passed me and others was going at least 100mph. And he attempted to pass more vehicles when the head - on occurred

Alton Bay;
I believe there was a motorcycle accident right at the Mount Dock, right around 11 am.

Wow, that is crazy. I assume you have given that info to the police. I am sure it will help their investigation.
