Gilmanton — Motorcycle Week’s only fatal accident this year sent two people to the hospital and closed down Route 107 in Gilmanton for about three hours on Saturday.

Around 5:20 p.m., the Gilmanton Fire and Police departments responded to a reported two-vehicle accident on Province Road, in the area of Gardner Cove Road, according to Police Chief Joseph Collins.

First responders arriving at the scene found that one motorcycle carrying two people traveling northbound crossed the yellow line and hit another motorcycle driven by one person heading south.

“The driver of the motorcycle that crossed the yellow line did not survive the crash,” Collins said. “The other two people had serious injuries.”

Collins said one survivor was flown to the hospital by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team, while the other was taken to the hospital by an ambulance.

Police and firefighters closed Province Road about two miles south of The Corners for about three hours and opened it to traffic around 8:30 p.m.

Collins said police don’t yet know the cause of the accident and haven’t released the identification of those involved, pending notification of the family.
