DUNBARTON — A juvenile driver escaped injury Friday evening after their vehicle went over a guardrail and landed in a creek, according to the Dunbarton Police Department.
Officers Philbrook and Gorman responded to a call at approximately 7:40 p.m. regarding a motor vehicle collision near the intersection of Grapevine Road and Gile Hill Road.
Upon arrival, they discovered a car partially submerged in the creek.
The initial investigation indicated that the young driver accidentally accelerated instead of braking while descending a hill, causing the vehicle to vault over the guardrail via a snowbank and into the water.
The operator managed to self-extricate without sustaining injuries.
The police department was supported at the scene by the Dunbarton Fire Department, J&M Towing, and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
The incident is under further investigation, but no injuries were reported.
