Teen Wrong-Way Driver Arrested On Charges
A teen from Stratham was arrested Monday accused of driving while high on drugs on the wrong side of Route 101. State police were tipped off about the driver by several motorists at just before 1 a.m.
The vehicle, they stated, was driving east in the westbound lane near Exit 9.
"Passing motorists reported the wrong way driver to be operating a silver Honda CRV in the high-speed travel lane," according to Lt. John Hennessy of Troop A.
Troopers were able to slow down and stop motorists as they approached the driver and were able to stop the vehicle.
Raiden Bento-Wittman, 18, of Stratham, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of drugs and felony reckless conduct. He's due in Brentwood District Court on Sept. 17.
Nottingham Man In Mustang Crashes On Route 101
Also on Monday, Troop A troopers were sent to a crash on Route 101 West in the area of Raymond. At around 9 a.m., a rollover was reported about 75 to 100 feet up an embankment.
The driver – a 40-year-old man from Nottingham – was traveling in the high-speed lane, attempted to pass a vehicle, lost control of his vehicle, crossed over the travel lane, and careened into the embankment, according to Hennessey. Speed appears to have played a role, he added.
The man was taken to Elliot Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
State police were assisted by Raymond police and firefighters and the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department.
Anyone with information pertaining to this crash is asked to contact Trooper Stefan Wagner of the New Hampshire State Police at 603-233-8490 or [email protected].
