Dec. 1 – A Bow man was arrested on charges of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon and driving under the influence after driving the wrong way on Interstates 293 and 93, state police said.
At 12:37 a.m. Sunday, New Hampshire State Police received reports of a wrong-way driver traveling north on I-293 in Manchester near mile marker 7.4, according to a news release. More reports came in as the wrong-way driver headed north in the southbound lanes on I-93 in Hooksett, the release said.
A single-vehicle crash with non-life-threatening injuries south of the Hooksett toll was also reported after another driver tried to avoid a head-on collision with the wrong-way driver and went off the road, state police said.
The wrong-way driver, Brian Kunst, 49, of Bow, was driving in the opposite direction until he was successfully stopped by a state trooper on I-93 in Concord. After a roadside investigation, Kunst was arrested on multiple charges.
Art was held at the Merrimack County Department of Corrections and was scheduled to appear in Concord District Court on Monday.
