Race Day Live (Manchester, NH) – A New Hampshire man is facing reckless driving charges after reportedly speeding down the highway at more than 100 mph before colliding Wednesday morning.
Jason Marcoux, 48, of Manchester, has been charged with 10 counts of felony reckless conduct with a deadly weapon (car), as well as accusations of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, disobeying an officer, driving after suspension for DUI, and reckless driving.
According to New Hampshire State Police, about 10 a.m., a trooper was performing a commercial vehicle inspection on I-93 northbound in Hooksett when the driver of a blue 2013 Dodge Dart, later identified as Marcoux, pulled over, left the vehicle, and began yelling strangely.
The trooper then attempted to confront him, but Marcoux reportedly rushed back to his car and raced away.
Shortly later, the Dodge was allegedly seen driving at over 100 mph in the high-speed breakdown lane of I-93 northbound in Bow.
A trooper attempted to pull him over, but Marcoux showed no signs of slowing down and continued driving on I-93 in Concord, endangering other vehicles, according to authorities.
Officials say Marcoux lost control of the Dodge at a rotary and drove off the road, colliding into a snowbank. He was eventually arrested by K-9 Ragnar.
Marcoux will be in court at a later date.
