Distracted driving caused one New Hampshire resident to rear end a State Trooper Wednesday (2/12/20). New Hampshire State Police say Sergeant Russ Holmes was driving north on Route 28 in Alton when he slowed to make a left turn onto Old Wolfeboro Road. While waiting to turn, the State Police cruiser was struck by Calvin Cheney’s ’96 Ford Ranger. Police say the 27-year-old from New Durham admitted he was reaching for his cell phone just prior to the collision. Cheney refused medical treatment while Sergeant Holmes was transported to Concord Hospital for evaluation of his injuries. Authorities say the case remains under investigation and that charges are being considered. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact State Trooper Hawley Rae at (603) 323-3333.

Bernie Sanders won first place in the New Hampshire primary and while many are reporting that it’s the first clear victory, it’s only because of the chaos that ensued in Iowa. Bernie won by approximately 1% of the vote in the state and both he and Pete Buttigieg picked up 9 new delegates rendering a tie terms of heading towards the party convention. In Carroll County, Buttigieg actually beat Sanders by 2% with Amy Klobuchar less than a hundred votes behind the Vermont Senator. Coos county was a different story with Sanders taking a wide 9% lead over Buttgieg, who still finished second. Klobuchar came in third again but with a wider difference. The results put Klobuchar about even with Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden in terms of the delegate count. All three with half the totals of Sanders and Buttigieg.

Bernie Sanders
76,324 votes
9 delegates

Pete Buttigieg
72,457 votes
9 delegates

Amy Klobuchar
58,796 votes
6 delegates

The rest of the democratic field did not earn enough votes to secure any delegates. Here’s News Director Tony Zore breaking down the delegate system for our sister station Magic 104’s Gino Devaney:
