1 killed in Keene crash involving tractor-trailer, multiple cars

KEENE, N.H. —
One person was killed in a crash Monday morning in Keene.
A portion of Route 9 was closed about 10:30 a.m. after the crash, which involved an overturned sand-filled tractor-trailer and multiple cars.
The name of the victim has not been released, pending notification of that person's family.
"We have one confirmed fatality, one in critical condition, and the other three people involved have minor injuries at best," Lt. Jason Short said. "I think they all have been released from the hospital."
Police said the investigation into the collision is ongoing, but it appears that a pickup truck crossed the center line and struck the tractor-trailer.
"Those two vehicles collided, and as a result of that, it looks like the tractor-trailer lost control and came into the eastbound lane and struck another vehicle," Short said.
The road was closed between Washington Street and the Route 10 intersection. The area is not known to be prone to accidents.
"Sometimes due to weather, but this really isn't a common area for accidents like this," Lt. Steven Tenney said.
The road was back open by Monday evening.
Hering, who runs a jewelry shop nearby, said this happened during rush hour.
Videos show people on the street watching the scene while others were trying to escape the bees.
Transport for London posted on one of their twitter accounts: "Greenwich #beetime the pedestrian crossing on Greenwich one way system is partially obstructed by bees. Please approach with caution." Source: wmur.com
