Manchester Police Save Tow Truck Driver’s Life at Scene of Accident

Manchester police officers saved the life of a man involved in a serious accident at the corner of Beacon Street and Ridgeway Boulevard.

Manchester police say that they responded to reports of an accident on March 10th at the intersection, with officers arriving on scene finding two vehicles with extensive damage.

Neither driver was seriously injured, though one was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
