Avery Therrien, 20, Injured in Rollisford Head-On Car Accident on Portland Avenue
ROLLINSFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE (June 4, 2026) – A driver identified as Avery Therrien was injured in a Rollinsford car accident with a pickup truck along Portland Avenue.
Strafford County officials are saying that the accident took place on Wednesday afternoon. A 2022 Chevrolet Silverado crossed the centerline before hitting a Chevrolet Impala driven by Avery Therrien.
The force of the impact caused both vehicles to ultimately come to rest in a ditch on the south side of the roadway. Paramedics were called to the scene of the accident to help the injured victim.
Avery Therrien was reportedly taken to the hospital to receive treatment for critical injuries. Police have not filed any charges at this time.
A full investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing.

Liability for Rollinsford Truck Accidents
Drivers owe a duty of care to the other people they interact with on the road. They can be liable for car accidents where they fail to exercise due care. This includes instances where drivers cross into opposing traffic. According to NH Rev Stat § 265:16, “Motor vehicles shall not be operated continuously in the left lane of a multilane roadway whenever it impedes the flow of other traffic at or below the posted speed limit unless reasonable and prudent under the conditions having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing.” Several factors could contribute to any head-on collision.
- Driver Intoxication: Driver intoxication and drunk driving continues to be one of the major causes of preventable car accidents. What many drivers do not realize is that even prescriptions can impair their ability to operate a vehicle safely.
- Speed: Drivers are substantially more likely to lose control of their vehicle if they are traveling at excessive speeds.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Rain and other weather conditions can impair a driver’s ability to see clearly and steer their vehicle.
If a driver enters into opposing lanes of traffic and collides with another vehicle, this could form the basis of a liability claim. There is a presumption of negligence on the part of any driver that enters into opposing lanes of traffic before a collision. Liability for a car accident could extend beyond any specific driver determined to be at fault. This is particularly true if a pickup truck was being used. These vehicles are routinely used for commercial purposes across New Hampshire every day.
Injuries Associated With New Hampshire Car Accidents
As Americans drive increasingly larger cars and trucks, this has coincided with more serious injury car accidents. According to the National Safety Council, “The proliferation of large vehicles within the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet creates a feedback loop with profound safety implications. Nonmotorized travel is less likely to inflict injury (i.e., a person riding a bicycle or walking is less likely to kill or seriously injure another road user in a collision than someone driving a vehicle would in the same collision).” Victims of truck accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries.
- Broken Bones: Many victims sustain broken bones. These are especially common in a person’s arms and wrists.
- Head Injuries: If a car accident causes a person’s head to be jolted forward and collide with any object, they are at a serious risk of sustaining a major head injury.
- Organ Damage: Many of the injuries associated with car accidents will not be outwardly obvious. A number of victims sustain serious lacerations and other trauma to their internal organs.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Some of the most serious injuries that victims sustain are spinal cord injuries. These injuries can result in temporary or permanent paralysis.
Car accidents can be one of the most traumatic and harmful events most people will go through in their lives. Being injured can impact every part of a person’s day-to-day experience, including their ability to work to perform ordinary tasks. Unfortunately, negligent drivers and their insurance providers are not likely to admit fault following a collision. This is why it’s so important that victims carefully consider their legal options with an experienced personal injury attorney.
