State Police are investigating a series of crashes that shut down Interstate 93 near Exit 4 for nearly an hour Saturday night.

According to New Hampshire State Police Sgt. Nathan Noyes, troopers were called to the area after a 2006 Mazda 6 spun out of control and stopped on the center median. The driver of the Mazda got out of the car and fled on foot, Noyes said.

As traffic slowed to look at the car in the middle of the highway, motorcycle rider Julie Nigro, 31, of North Andover, Mass., lost control of her motorcycle when she tried to stop. Nigro sustained minor injuries.

While troopers were investigating the crashes, Keith Lord, 50, of Plaistow, stopped on the north bond side of the highway to give information to the troopers about the Mazda driver, according to Noyes.

Lord was subsequently arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, according to Noyes.

The Mazda driver was eventually found and charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol, Noyes reports.
