A Newport ambulance was clipped in a Croydon hit-and-run while heading back from Lebanon, leaving its driver-side mirror damaged.
A Newport ambulance was clipped by a driver who crossed the center line in Croydon while it was heading back from Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. The Town of Newport’s July 6 manager report identifies Ambulance 2 as involved in a hit-and-run crash on the return trip, and New Hampshire State Police investigated and filed a report.
The ambulance’s driver-side mirror was damaged, and the town has ordered a new one. The report does not note any serious injuries.
Newport Fire-EMS’s Division of EMS is a New Hampshire-licensed Advanced Life Support transporting ambulance service, with coverage for Newport and the surrounding towns of Croydon, Goshen and Sunapee. Its fleet includes three ALS-capable ambulances and an ALS-capable rescue truck.
Croydon is part of the same Sullivan County corridor that ties Newport to Lebanon, where Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center serves as the area’s emergency trauma facility. Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center serves patients across northern New England, and DHART, based in Lebanon and Manchester, provides ground and air medical transportation throughout the region.
New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles rules require crashes with injury or more than $1,000 in combined damage to be reported in writing within 15 days. When police respond to or investigate a crash, the officer submits a Uniform Police Traffic Accident Report.
