A 47-year-old man was killed and four others were seriously injured when a car struck a dump truck head-onalong Route 10 in Winchester, N.H. on Sunday, according to New Hampshire State Police.
John Lafreniere of Keene, N.H.,was heading north in a 2011 Chevrolet Impala when his car crossed the center line and hit a 1997 Ford truck shortly before 1:20 p.m., officials said in a statement.
Lafreniere was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Sergeant Sean Eaton.
All four occupants of the truck — a 25-year-old man and woman, as well as two 5-year-old and 6-year-old children — were taken to Cheshire Medical Center with serious but not life-threatening injuries, police said. The man and one of the children were later transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center by helicopter.
