Four people were taken to the hospital Thursday morning following a collision on Route 101 in Dublin.
“They didn’t stop for the stop sign,” said Dublin Police Chief Tim Suokko, referring to the driver of one of the vehicles involved at the intersection of Route 101 and Route 137.
A call came in at 10:32 a.m., and officers arrived to find a blue Toyota Camry 60 to 70 feet off the road on the northwest corner of the intersection. Also at the scene was a white Subaru sedan closer to the road in which the air bags had deployed. Both vehicles has sustained significant damage to their front ends. There were two individuals in each vehicle at the time of the crash.
“We had to perform an extraction here,” said Dublin Fire Chief Tom Vanderbilt at the location of the Subaru.
A helicopter had initially been called to respond for the injured parties but was deemed not necessary. The individuals were transported to Elliot Hospital in Manchester.
“There didn’t appear to be any broken bones,” said Suokko.
Asked what happened, Suokko said that the Camry was heading west on Route 101, and “The Subaru was traveling north on 137 and T-boned the Camry,” Stop signs are posted where Route 137 meets Route 101.
Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene, with the Camry pulled from its resting place down an embankment. Road and weather conditions do not appear to have been a factor in the accident.
“There’s no indication of impairment,” said Suokko. “Needless to say we’re very lucky.”
Dublin Police and Fire, as well as Jaffrey and Peterborough fire, lended assistance.
