MANCHESTER POLICE INVESTIGATE SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON BRIDGE STREET

By Police Supervisor on 8/26/2009 7:12 PM

On 08-26-09 at approximately 5:50 PM, Manchester Police responded to the area of Bridge St, just west of Mammoth Rd for an accident. On arrival, they determined that a motorcycle had collided with an SUV on Bridge St, in front of Trinity High School.

The preliminary investigation indicates that a Harley Davidson motorcycle, operated by Robert Gagnon, 62, 320 Spruce St, Manchester, was traveling westerly on Bridge St from the area of Mammoth Rd when it crossed into the eastbound lane, colliding with a Nissan Pathfinder, operated by Tammy Wason, 38, 35 Batchelder Ave, Raymond, traveling easterly on Bridge St.

Gagnon sustained serious injuries in the crash and was transported to Elliot Hospital for treatment. His injuries do not appear to be life threatening at this time. Wason was not injured.

Based on initial information gathered at the scene, it appears that neither speed nor alcohol were factors in this crash. The Manchester Police Traffic Division continues to investigate the accident.
