BOSTON — A fast-moving morning snowstorm led to two major traffic crashes piling up 35 cars on a New Hampshire highway on Friday morning, state police said.
No serious injuries were reported in the accidents, which occurred on Interstate 93 in the town of Ashland, about 37 miles north of the state capitol of Concord, said State Police Lt. Jerome Maslan.
“We had a snow squall go through around 9:45 a.m. ET this morning, which typically will reduce visibility,” Maslan said.
The interstate highway remained closed as of midday Friday, and crews were working to reopen it, he said.
