Motor vehicle rollover Saturday in Nashua sends two people to area hospitals, one by medical helicopter

Nov. 17—A motor vehicle rollover Saturday night on the Circumferential Highway in Nashua sent two people to area hospitals with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

One was airlifted to Lahey Hospital in Burlington, Mass., after she was thrown from the car during the crash.

At around 11:20 p.m., Nashua Fire and Rescue, Nashua Police and State Police responded to a report of a single vehicle off the road and down an embankment, with one occupant ejected.

State Troopers said that a red 2022 Hyundai Kano drive by Ian Odea, 26, of Hudson had been travelling eastbound on the Circumferential Highway when it left the off-ramp to Daniel Webster Highway, crossed an on-ramp, went over a guardrail, then rolled down a steep embankment toward railroad tracks beside the Merrimack River.

During the rollover, a passenger, Laura Gomes Duhan, 26, of Haverhill, Mass., was thrown from the car, according to the police report.

Odea was transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center on a trauma alert. Duhan was airlifted by Boston MedFlight to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. To enable the helicopter to land, all lanes on both sides of the Circumferential Highway and the on- and off-ramps to Daniel Webster Highway were closed.
