BEDFORD, NH  — Bedford Police Department has released more information about the accident involving two pedestrians who were injured Tuesday morning.

Thomas Ducharme, 58, and Gregory Uliasz, 58, both of Bedford, were jogging on Pembroke Way when they were struck by a sedan driven by a 16-year-old male, whose name was not released by police due to his age.

Both Ducharme and Uliasz were transported to Elliot Hospital in Manchester with life-threatening injuries. They both remain in serious condition as of Tuesday evening.

Just after 7 a.m. this morning, Bedford Police responded to the area of 14 Pembroke Way on a report of a single motor vehicle collision.

Upon arrival, police learned that a male operator in a sedan struck two adult male pedestrians who were on Pembroke Way.

The crash remains under investigation by the Bedford Police Department’s Technical Accident Reconstruction team. At this time, alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, however, police are looking into whether frost on the windshield of the sedan may be a factor.

Bedford Police remind residents to always make sure their front and back windshields are fully defrosted before operating their motor vehicles.

Pembroke Way was reopened after several hours of investigation.
