A woman from California was killed in a serious crash on Interstate 95 south in New Hampshire on Wednesday morning.
The man behind the wheel, from Saugus, Massachusetts, was seriously hurt as well, according to New Hampshire State Police.
The crash was reported shortly after 9 a.m. by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation in the area of Exit 3 near the Portsmouth-Greenland line.
