Tractor-trailer rollover closes Route 101 easbound ramp for hours

Sep. 3—The driver of a tractor-trailer involved in a rollover crash on Route 101 eastbound in Hampton on Monday suffered minor injuries, State Police said.

At 7:41 p.m. Monday, state troopers responded to Route 101 eastbound at the exit ramp for Interstate 95 for a report of a crash involving a tractor-trailer.

According to State Police, a 2017 Freightliner hauling a flatbed trailer loaded with construction material, driven by Haixuan Guo, 48, of Eastvale, California, had exited Route 101 east via the ramp to I-95 when "for reasons that remain under investigation," Guo lost control of the truck while negotiating a curve, resulting in the truck and trailer overturning, State Police said.

After rolling, the tractor-trailer came to rest partially on the travel portion of the exit ramp, and partially on the grass shoulder located along the left side of the exit ramp, State Police said.

Debris was scattered throughout the area and the truck was determined to be leaking diesel fuel, State Police said.

Guo was also trapped within the cab of the truck but was pulled free by firefighters, then transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

As troopers investigated the scene and emergency personnel worked to mitigate the fuel spill, then worked to remove the truck and trailer along with the debris, the exit ramp was closed for approximately six hours.

The scene was cleared and the exit ramp reopened at 1:42 a.m. on Tuesday, state police said.

The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Seth Parker at Seth.W.Parker@DOS.NH.GOV.
