According to NBC Boston, two tractor trailers overturned on Interstate 89 in Grantham, New Hampshire. In one of those crashes, 36-year-old trucker Romero Niogre was taken to a hospital with non life threatening injuries. Niogre was cited from driving without a valid license and troopers say the incident was likely caused by inattention.
