VIDEO/PHOTOS: A logging truck flipped over in a crash that left its trailer hanging over a wall on a highway in New Hampshire on Friday morning. The southbound side of Interstate 293 near Exit 6 in Manchester was closed to traffic just before 7 a.m. due to the wreck, according to New Hampshire State Police. The truck driver and the driver of a sedan also involved in the crash were taken to Elliot Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Video from the scene showed the truck’s cab flipped over and blocking traffic on the highway, while the dangling trailer partially blocked a road below. State police urged drivers to seek an alternate route and traffic was detoured off Exit 6 for hours. “It is estimated that it will take several hours to remove the tractor-trailer,” state police wrote in a post on X shortly before 8 a.m. The highway was reopened around 1 p.m. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
