Bedford Police Respond to Fatal Head-On Crash Involving Cement Truck

BEDFORD — Chief Robert Bongiorno and Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan report that one person has died following a head-on crash on North Road.

At approximately 1:25 p.m., Bedford Police responded to a report of a crash in the area of 79 North Road involving two motor vehicles.

Upon arrival to the scene, police learned that a 2010 Honda CRV was traveling southbound on North Road when it crossed over the double yellow line and hit a cement truck head-on that had been traveling northbound. The cement truck lost all hydraulic power as a result of the collision, causing the truck to hit a utility pole with a transformer.

The driver of the Honda CRV, a 71-year-old Methuen man, was transported to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries and later pronounced dead. His name is not being released pending notification of his next of kin.

Two juveniles were in the car at the time of the crash. Both children were taken to an area hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the cement truck declined medical treatment at the scene.

As a result of the crash, North Road and several surrounding streets are currently without power. Eversource is on scene, and is working to restore power.

The Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section also responded to the scene, and the crash remains under investigation by Bedford Police and the District Attorney’s Office.

North Road remains closed in both directions while police investigate.

Bedford Police Seeking to Identify Woman Connected to Multiple Incidents of Fraud

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department is seeking to identify a woman believed to be involved in multiple fraudulent bank transactions.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 11, Bedford Police were alerted to suspicious activity at Member’s First Credit Union, 136 Bedford Center Road, where the suspect allegedly attempted to withdraw money using a stolen identification card.

When police arrived, the suspect fled and ran a red light at the intersection of Route 101 and Wallace Road, after which she continued to drive recklessly, resulting in officers abandoning their effort to pursue her for safety reasons.

Through their ongoing investigation, Bedford Police determined that the July 11 incident is likely connected to multiple similar incidents in which a suspect used stolen checks, driver’s licenses and vehicle registration plates. These items are believed to have been stolen from multiple car break-ins in Gilford, Tilton and Manchester in recent weeks.

“This woman is connected to multiple serious felonies, including endangering the safety of everyone around her by attempting to elude officers investigating her crimes,” Chief Bryfonski said. “I urge anyone who may know this individual to come forward and help us to identify her.”

The suspect was driving a newer silver Dodge Grand Caravan displaying stolen plates. Anyone who believes they may have information on the suspect is asked to call the Bedford Police Department at 603-472-5113. All tips can remain anonymous.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department issued a shelter in place advisory this afternoon after Bedford Police Officers and Bedford Firefighters responded to a medical call on Galloway Lane.

At approximately 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday, police and fire units responded to Galloway Lane to check on an adult male. Responding police officers and firefighters found a male subject in the garage with a large knife. Officers and firefighters also detected a very strong odor of gas.

Concerned that an explosion could occur, officers and firefighters retreated, established a secure perimeter, evacuated the immediate area and issued a shelter in place advisory.

Bedford Police Officers subsequently approached the scene along with tactically equipped firefighters and determined the subject was deceased and the environment at the scene was safe for first responders.

As soon as the scene was secured the shelter in place advisory was lifted. There is no danger to the public related to this incident which remains under investigation by the Bedford Police Department.
