Police: Man dead after he was ejected from truck in a crash

GORHAM, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire police say a man is dead after he was ejected from his truck in a rollover crash near Gorham.

Responding officers say they found the truck on its roof in the middle of the roadway Monday. WMUR-TV reports 60-year-old Maurice Giroux, of Berlin, was thrown from the vehicle and was suffering life-threatening injuries at the scene.

He was rushed to an area hospital where he later died.

Investigators say Giroux was travelling north at a high rate of speed when he hit the front of another vehicle and lost control, causing his truck to roll over.

Officials say speed may have been a factor, but all aspects are still under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
