The offramp was partially shutdown to accommodate the on-scene investigation and was expected to reopen by 6 p.m. State police had said earlier Sunday that multiple lanes of I-93 southbound were closed due to a "serious crash," but further details were not immediately shared.
Salem fire and police departments, as well as the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, assisted state police on scene.
An investigation into the triple fatal crash remains active and ongoing. Anyone with information that may assist investigators is asked to contact Trooper Mark Lingerman at 603-223-4381 or mark.n.lingerman@dos.nh.gov.
