Police: Unlicensed Mass. driver crashed into New Hampshire trooper’s cruiser

An unlicensed Massachusetts driver crashed into a New Hampshire State Police cruiser Saturday while a trooper was helping another driver who had crashed, according to state police.

The crash happened just before 11:20 p.m. on I-93 in Canterbury when 38-year-old Chelsea resident Melvin Ruiz Chaperon hit a trooper’s car, state police said in a press release[1]. Ruiz Chaperon was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

At the time, troopers were responding to several crashes on the road caused by icy conditions, state police said. The trooper who the cruiser belonged to was outside his car helping another driver and was not injured.

State police charged Ruiz Chaperon with operating without a valid license.

He was summonsed to appear at Concord District Court.
