WESTMORELAND, N.H. – New Hampshire State Police said road rage appears to have caused a rollover crash that seriously injured one driver.

It happened Saturday just before 5 p.m. on NH-12 near Aldridge Road.

Police said a 34-year-old woman was driving a Mercury Grand Marquis behind a 17-year-old boy in a Chevy pickup truck on the northbound side of the road.

The woman tried to pass the pickup truck when the vehicles collided and she lost control. The woman drove onto the southbound part of the road, hit an embankment and rolled over.
