HOOKSETT, N.H. – The New Hampshire State Police is investigating a crash that resulted in serious injuries to three people during the morning commute on Interstate 293.
At 5:40 a.m., Tuesday, June 23, 2026, State Troopers assigned to the Troop B barracks responded to a head-on collision involving two vehicles on I-293 northbound, in the area of mile marker 11 in Hooksett.
The preliminary investigation determined that the driver of a 2020 Subaru Legacy, later identified as Timothy Hubbard, 43, of Rome, Maine, was traveling southbound when, for reasons that remain under investigation, he lost control of the vehicle and crossed the center median into the northbound lanes. The Subaru then collided head-on with a Ford F-150 traveling north.
Hubbard, his passenger, and the driver of the Ford were all transported to area hospitals to be treated for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
The northbound lanes, as well as the left southbound lane, were closed for approximately an hour while Troopers and emergency personnel investigated the crash.
Speed is believed to be a factor in this collision; however, all aspects of this crash remain under investigation.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Isaiah Acquaye at Isaiah.J.Acquaye@dos.nh.gov.
