NASHUA, NH – On Sept. 1, 2020, at approximately 8 a.m. Troopers from New Hampshire State Police Troop B, and Troop G, along with Nashua Fire responded to a rollover crash involving a concrete truck on the Exit 7E southbound ramp from the Everett Turnpike in Nashua.
Dispatch advised that the concrete truck was on its side, in the grass median.
Initial reports indicated that the concrete truck was traveling on the exit 7E ramp from the Everett Turnpike southbound when control was lost. The concrete truck rolled on its side and slid into the grass median.
The operator of the concrete truck, identified as James Thomas, 32, of Merideth, NH.
