NASHUA, New Hampshire (CBS) - Police say a 17-year-old Nashua boy escaped a harrowing crash that ended with his car teetering on a Sagamore Bridge railing over the Merrimack River Saturday afternoon.
New Hampshire State Police, Nashua police and fire and Hudson fire crews were called to the eastbound Hudson Connector in Nashua for a single-vehicle crash at 3:35 p.m.
The teen had lost control of his Honda Accord, hitting a small snowbank along the right breakdown lane. His vehicle became airborne and landed on top of the railing, with the rear of it hanging over the river.
The boy was not hurt.
