A New York man was killed in a crash involving several motorcycles on Saturday. At approximately 4:41 pm on Saturday, June 15, state troopers from the Troop F barracks were notified of a crash on southbound Interstate 93 in Campton. When police arrived, they found a group of three injured motorcyclists, along with three motorcycles propped on their sides. A preliminary investigation determined that a gust of wind caused one of the motorcyclists to lose control and crash. Two other motorcyclists attempted evasive maneuvers to avoid hitting that motorcyclist and left their bikes to avoid a collision. The operator of the initial motorcycle that went off the road was transported to Concord Hospital for serious injuries and a second motorcyclist was transported to Speare Hospital for minor injuries. A third motorcyclist, identified as Anthony Caton, 41, of Round Lake, New York, was transported to Speare Hospital and later flown to Dartmouth Hospital, where he died from his injuries. Troop F was assisted by members of Troop D. the Campton Police Department, Campton-Thornton Fire Department, Waterville Valley Fire Department and Plymouth Fire Department. The scene was cleared within 3 hours on Saturday. This accident is still under investigation. Anyone with information about what happened is asked to contact Trooper Jacob Thomas at (603) 369-2393 or email Jacob.M.Thomas@DOS.NH.GOV.
