The police reported that a teenager from New Hampshire was accused of being under the influence during a road rage event on Wednesday, where he deliberately collided with a motorcyclist using his vehicle.

In a press release shared on Facebook, the Litchfield Police Department detailed the arrest of 19-year-old John Burke. Burke was driving a Toyota Corolla through the town in New Hampshire at approximately 9 p.m. on Wednesday night. Emergency services arrived after receiving a notification from Burke’s vehicle about the crash at 9:17 p.m., and a 911 call was made to report the incident.

Burke and the driver of the Mitsubishi were treated for minor injuries.

According to Litchfield Police, an investigation into the crash led them to believe that “the collision between the Toyota and the motorcycle was intentional, based on witness statements and physical evidence.”

“The subsequent crash involving the Mitsubishi was not believed to be intentional, but occurred as the driver of the Mitsubishi swerved to miss the motorcycle as it slid into her lane,” the statement also said.
