Two Injuries Reported After Head-On Collision in Pelham 

In February of 2025, various sources reported a head-on collision in Pelham. Police confirmed that this accident had caused two serious injuries, although both motorists should recover and survive. First responders say that the collision occurred in the eastbound lane of Sherburne Road – implying that the westbound vehicle had veered into oncoming traffic before the impact.

That said, the crash is still under investigation – and it is impossible to jump to conclusions before this investigation is complete. This incident comes just days after another major head-on collision in New Hampshire that killed an elderly woman. This crash involved a Jeep colliding with a utility truck, and it occurred on Route 106. First responders arrived at a grisly scene, finding the Jeep without one of its wheels and severely damaged. According to some witnesses, one of the victims was partially hanging out of the Jeep’s broken window.

Countless additional head-on collisions have occurred in New Hampshire within the past few weeks and months. For a state with such a small population, the frequency of these crashes is concerning.

Justice and closure are important for many families who have been affected by head-on collisions in New Hampshire. Some positive news emerged when Seacoastonline reported that a man had been charged with negligent homicide for causing a head-on collision in February of 2024. This incident occurred on I-93 – a highway that has been plagued by head-on collisions over the years.

The driver’s own mother died, allegedly because he was driving at an unsafe speed. Prosecutors say that combined with adverse weather conditions, this recklessness led directly to the fatal collision. That said, no amount of prison time will ever bring back the victims of reckless, negligent drivers.
