Around 5:50 a.m. Thursday, Trooper Tyler Duhamel responded to a report of a single motor vehicle crash on the F.E. Everett Turnpike near mile marker 13.8 in Merrimack.
Duhamel was parked in the breakdown lane, sitting in his cruiser with his K9 partner Ivy when his vehicle was struck from behind by a pickup truck driven by Anthony Remillard, 39, of Chester, state police said.
Duhamel, Ivy and Remillard were uninjured in the crash, officials said.
The crash was to blame for substantial delays in the morning commuting traffic, with traffic backed up approximately five miles through the Bedford Tolls, resulting in two other crashes on the Everett Turnpike.
The right lane was closed for approximately one hour while the roadway was cleaned up, officials said.
The crash remains under investigation. State police are asking for anyone who saw the crash or has additional information to contact Sgt. Mark Dore at Mark.R.Dore@dos.nh.gov, or state police dispatch at (603) 223-4381.
