Upon reaching the scene, they found three motorcyclists and their bikes sprawled on the ground.

The first motorcyclist was rushed to Concord Hospital with severe injuries, while the second rider was treated at Speare Hospital for minor injuries.
The third rider, identified as Anthony Caton, 41, from Round Lake, New York, was initially taken to Speare Hospital, then airlifted to Dartmouth Hospital, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. Troop F received assistance from members of Troop D, Campton Police Department, Campton-Thornton Fire Rescue, Waterville Valley Fire Department, and Plymouth Fire-Rescue. The accident led to a three-hour closure of one lane as emergency crews operated at the site. State Police are currently conducting an ongoing investigation into the crash.
