EPSOM, NH - February 21st, 2026 - The New Hampshire State Police Troop B continues to investigate a multi-vehicle crash that occurred on Interstate 93 northbound in Epsom on Wednesday, February 19th, 2026, at approximately 10:18 a.m. The incident, which resulted in severe injuries to multiple individuals, is now prompting a wider call for public assistance as investigators piece together the events leading up to the collision.

While details remain limited pending the completion of a thorough investigation, authorities have confirmed that several vehicles were involved in the crash. Emergency responders, including State Troopers, arrived on the scene swiftly to provide immediate medical attention and facilitate the transport of the injured to local hospitals. The extent of those injuries has not been publicly disclosed, but officials have indicated they are considered severe.

Beyond the immediate aftermath of the crash, the State Police are focusing on a number of key areas to determine the cause. Investigators are currently analyzing physical evidence from the scene, including vehicle damage, tire marks, and any debris that may offer clues. They are also reviewing traffic camera footage from nearby locations, hoping to identify potential factors that may have contributed to the incident.

However, eyewitness accounts are proving crucial, and the State Police are actively seeking anyone who may have observed the crash or events preceding it. Investigators believe that even seemingly insignificant details could be vital in reconstructing the sequence of events and understanding what led to the collision. This includes individuals who may have noticed erratic driving behavior, unusual traffic patterns, or any other potentially relevant observations.

"We are asking anyone who was traveling on I-93 northbound in the vicinity of Epsom on Wednesday morning around 10:18 a.m. to come forward if they have any information," stated a spokesperson for Troop B. "Even if you don't believe what you saw is significant, it could be the missing piece we need to complete the puzzle."

The section of I-93 where the crash occurred is a particularly busy corridor, serving as a major artery for commuters and commercial traffic traveling between Massachusetts and northern New Hampshire. Recent winter weather conditions have also presented challenges, with fluctuating temperatures and occasional periods of black ice. While it's too early to determine if weather played a role in this specific incident, investigators are examining meteorological data from the time of the crash as part of their comprehensive assessment.

Furthermore, the State Police are exploring the possibility of distracted driving, mechanical failure, or other potential contributing factors. Vehicle maintenance records of the involved vehicles will be scrutinized, and investigators may conduct interviews with vehicle owners and mechanics. The increasing prevalence of automated driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is also being considered; investigators will be looking into whether these systems were in use and if they functioned as expected. With more and more vehicles equipped with features like lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking, understanding their role in incidents like this is becoming increasingly important.

The State Police are urging anyone with information to contact Troop B directly at 603-838-3333. They also ask that individuals refrain from posting potentially compromising photos or videos of the crash scene on social media, as this could interfere with the ongoing investigation.

The New Hampshire State Police are committed to a thorough and transparent investigation to determine the cause of this serious crash and ensure accountability.

The investigation is expected to continue for several weeks, as investigators gather and analyze all available evidence. A preliminary report will likely be released once a clearer picture of the events has emerged.
