A 72-year-old New Hampshire man trying to retrieve a gas grill on the side of the road has been struck and killed by another motorist who was arrested for drunk driving.
New Hampshire State police say that Eric Grabowski, 51, of Middleton, N.H. was traveling north onto Route 16 Tuesday evening in Concord in a 2015 Subaru station wagon when he struck Kenneth Long, 72, of Sanbornville, N.H.
