NEWS RELEASE: DRIVER SERIOUSLY INJURED AFTER PURSUIT IN BOW

BOW, N.H. – A Hooksett man was seriously injured in a rollover crash after a pursuit on Interstate 93.

At 2:47 a.m. on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, Trooper Noah Gooch of the Troop D barracks conducted a traffic stop on I-93 southbound in Bow. After a brief interaction, the driver of a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta suddenly drove off from the traffic stop at a high rate of speed. A subsequent pursuit was initiated.

Just south of the Hooksett tolls, Troopers deployed tire deflation devices, successfully deflating one of the Volkswagen’s tires. While traveling through a work zone in Hooksett, the Volkswagen nearly struck a construction worker. The driver then used a restricted access crossover to turn around and continued northbound. The pursuit then entered Northfield at a high rate of speed. Upon entering Northfield, the driver veered off the road to the right, struck an embankment, and the Volkswagen rolled over.

The driver of the Volkswagen was then taken into custody and identified as Aaron C. Thurber, 21, of Hooksett. Thurber has pending charges of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, disobeying a police officer, and reckless operation.

Thurber was transported to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Members of Troop D were assisted by additional Troopers assigned to the Troop B barracks, as well as officers from the Northfield Police Department and members of the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Noah Gooch at [email protected].

NEWS RELEASE: ONE PERSON DECEASED FOLLOWING RESIDENTIAL FIRE IN DEERFIELD

DEERFIELD, N.H. – New Hampshire State Fire Marshal Sean P. Toomey and Deerfield Fire Chief Matt Fisher announce a joint investigation is underway following a residential fire. One person is deceased.

Just before 9 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, members of the Deerfield Fire Department responded to 201 Nottingham Road in Deerfield to investigate a report of a residential fire. A neighbor indicated they heard “explosions” and then saw intense flames coming from the home.

The first arriving firefighters reported heavy fire coming from the left and rear of the home and began efforts to extinguish the flames. During their initial efforts, firefighters received information that an adult female lived in the home. Search efforts were attempted, but crews were unable to locate her.

A second alarm was later declared and mutual aid assistance was requested. Firefighters from the communities of Nottingham, Candia, Raymond, Chester, Allenstown, Pembroke, Lee, Strafford, Durham, Brentwood, East Kingston, Epping, Fremont, Barrington, Northwood, and Auburn responded. Members of the Deerfield Police Department and Raymond Ambulance also assisted before the fire was determined to be under control at 2:26 a.m.

Once the fire was knocked down, during a search of the home and debris from the fire, members of the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office located the body of an adult female on a porch. The victim, who investigators believe is the resident of the home, will be transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy to verify their identity and confirm their cause and manner of death. Two dogs were also recovered deceased.

No other residents or firefighters were injured. The New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Deerfield Fire Department are actively investigating the origin and cause of the fire. Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is encouraged to contact the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office at (603) 223-4289 or [email protected].

No further information is available at this time. Updates will be provided as appropriate.
