A Maine man is accused of driving drunk in a head-on crash in New Hampshire over the weekend that left a motorcyclist seriously injured.
The crash between a car and a motorcycle occurred on just after 11 p.m. Saturday on Salmon Falls Road in the city of Somersworth, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Somersworth is right across the border from Berwick, Maine.
Connor J. Contella, 20, of Berwick, was driving a 2006 Honda Civic and was uninjured. He was arrested on felony charges of driving while intoxicated, and as of Sunday was being held at the Strafford County Department of Corrections, according to the Manchester, New Hampshire-based newspaper.
The motorcyclist, who was driving a 2025 Honda CMX500 and wearing a helmet, was taken to Wentworth Douglass Hospital and later transferred to a Massachusetts hospital, the Union Leader reported. Police had not identified the motorcyclist pending notification of their family.
