SALEM, N.H. (WHDH) - Police are investigating a rollover crash in Salem, New Hampshire that left one person hospitalized.
Officers responding to a reported crash on Interstate 93 around 3:30 p.m. Thursday found a sedan on its roof and the 51-year-old driver suffering from minor injuries.
The driver was transported to the hospital.
Intense dash camera footage shot by Scott Ashley shows the moment that driver lost control, hit two cars, drove over the median and flipped over.
“The first thing I noticed was that something was coming at me from across the median,” Ashley said. “Next thing I remember is I see this car come flying up. You can see it in the footage, it kind of rolls over.”
Ashley said he had no time to think. He knew he needed to help.
“There was no time for running through my head,” he said. “It was just kind of instinct.”
The driver was alert and talking following the crash.
“It was his lucky day all around because there was actually a guy there in surgical scrubs who was basically tending to him,” Ashley said. “He had the right guy on the scene.”
No one else was hurt in the crash, which remains under investigation.
