Barrington woman dies in early morning crash on Spaulding Turnpike

DOVER - State Police say a distracted driver traveling southbound on the Spaulding may have led to this morning's three-vehicle crash that left a Barrington woman dead.
The accident occurred around 5:30 a.m. drawing a response from troopers to the area of Route 16 South near mile marker 4.8. Within a few minutes, additional reports through 911 notified State Police that a third vehicle was now involved, and a subject was lying in the roadway.
Upon preliminary investigation it was learned that a 2000 Volvo sedan operated by Thomas Fuller, 26, of Kittery, Maine, and a 2013 Nissan Sentra operated by Kyla Morgan, 38, of Barrington, were traveling southbound from the Dover Toll Plaza and were parallel to one another until they both traveled underneath the Route 4 overpass, after which the Nissan drifted into the travel lane of the Volvo, which caused both operators to take evasive actions.
The actions led to both Fuller and Morgan losing control of their vehicles, with the Volvo deviating from the right side of the roadway and coming to a stop on the Exit 6 Southbound on-ramp. Meanwhile, the Nissan continued in the opposing direction and crashed into a concrete barrier along the median-side of the roadway. After striking the barrier, the Nissan became disabled in a perpendicular fashion, across the travel lane of the roadway.
After this initial crash, a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, operated by Mark Sweeney, 48, of Farmington and traveling southbound in the left lane struck struck the rear end of the Nissan.
This second impact resulted in additional trauma to Morgan and damage to the Nissan. It also resulted in Morgan's separation from her own vehicle. Lifesaving efforts were rendered, however Morgan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Preliminary investigation indicates that distraction by an electronic device may have contributed to this incident, however all aspects remain under investigation. State Police are requesting that anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact Trooper Gary Wood at Gary.J.Woodjr@dos.nh.gov or by voicemail at (603) 223-4381.
