Part of a busy highway in New Hampshire was closed for hours on Friday morning after a pedestrian was killed in a crash, authorities said.
All lanes on the northbound side of the Everett Turnpike in Nashua were shut to traffic in the area of mile marker 5.2 in Nashua as an investigation into the deadly incident unfolded, according to New Hampshire State Police.
The name of the pedestrian who was fatally struck hasn’t been released and there was no immediate word on the driver involved in the crash.
Aerial video from the scene showed multiple state police cruisers blocking the travel lanes leading up to the scene.
“Drivers should anticipate delays and avoid the area if possible,” state police warned in a post on X.
Traffic was being diverted onto an access road and then back onto the highway after the crash.
Two northbound lanes were reopened to traffic just before 9 a.m.
There were no additional details immediately available.
An investigation is ongoing.
#UPDATE: Two northbound lanes are now open. The investigation is still active, Troopers remain on scene.
