Somewhere between 7-8pm on Friday, April 10, a Keene Police SUV was in an accident with a second vehicle. The incident near Emerald Street in Keene caused the police SUV to roll over, spilling it’s contents across the road. Seat cushions, medical kits, jumper cables, and baby wipes were across School Street. After the crash, the SUV was parked on the left side of School Street near Ocean Bank, while the second vehicle stopped on the corner of Emerald St. and School St, facing into the curb with heavy frontal damage.
I asked the driver of the SUV, Lt. Peter Thomas and nearby Officer Matt Griffin for a story, they both told me “no comment.” Asking for comments from other officers produced nearly the same results. The only further response I got was from Sargent Darusso, who told me he couldn’t comment now and would be out with a press release when his investigation is complete.
