Tow truck driver hit on Everett Turnpike in Bedford

BEDFORD — A tow truck driver was hit this morning while assisting at a scene on the Everett Turnpike, according to New Hampshire State Police.

The incident occurred at 7:55 a.m. and resulted in the tow truck operator being transported to a local hospital with suspected minor injuries.
