NH State Police Trooper Death & Accident

When Sherrill’s cruiser was damaged, he was on construction as crews put a rumble strip on the road. The veteran trooper was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital but died.

The Lay’s potato chip company’s emblem can be seen on the tractor-trailer in question. The motorist was transported to the hospital but later released, according to police.

I-95’s two right-hand lanes were closed for roughly 10 hours near the incident scene before reopening Thursday morning. The tractor-cab trailers ended up nearly in adjoining woods, and cranes raised the trailer and cruiser out of the area.

At the time of the accident, a road crew was putting rumble strips along I-95.

Attorney General John Formella of New Hampshire issued a statement expressing his sympathy. But, Formella added, “Staff Sgt. Sherrill was an amazing member of the law enforcement community and, more importantly, a devoted husband, father, son, and brother.”
