Closure of southbound lanes for two hours, extensive damage to median and guardrails

A single-car crash in Dover, New Hampshire on Monday night resulted in the closure of all southbound lanes of the highway. The driver, 19-year-old Marshall L. Stansbury from Rochester, New Hampshire, was later arrested on charges of reckless driving and driving under the influence.

According to New Hampshire state police, the incident occurred at around 11:50 p.m. when Stansbury was driving on Route 16 South. He hit the median, causing his Subaru Legacy to spin into multiple lanes and collide with guardrails. Fortunately, Stansbury himself did not sustain any injuries despite significant damage to his vehicle.

Upon conducting an investigation at the scene, officials determined that Stansbury was impaired and distracted while behind the wheel during the crash. Consequently, he was taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence of drugs, recklessly operating his vehicle, and failing to adhere to highway markings.

Stansbury is currently being held on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on August 11th.

Due to extensive damage caused by the crash to both the median and guardrails, authorities called upon the New Hampshire Department of Transportation for repairs as well as removal of debris and Stansbury's vehicle. As a result of these efforts, all southbound lanes were closed for approximately two hours before fully reopening at 2 am.
