A Methuen man was among two people killed in a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 in Greenland, New Hampshire, that also seriously injured another person Wednesday afternoon.
New Hampshire State Police learned of the crash about 1:13 p.m. Troopers arrived to find two people dead.
A preliminary investigation determined that a 2023 Toyota Camry, driven by Steve Le, 24, of Methuen, was traveling on I-95 north when it lost control. The vehicle crossed the median and drove into the southbound lanes, police reported.
The Camry struck a 2019 Ford Econoline van that Leslie Lynn, 58, of Roanoke, Virginia, was driving on I-95 south. The collision forced the van to cross over onto the northbound side of the highway before stopping at the woodline.
Le and Lynn were pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in Lynn’s van was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries, police reported.
It is under investigation why Le lost control of the car, police added.
Both sides of I-95 remained closed as of 4:30 p.m. near the crash scene at mile marker 9.2 to clear debris and investigate the crash.
