Speed Caused Fatal I-293 Crash

Officials say speed was a contributing factor in the I-293 Manchester, NH crash that killed four men over the weekend.

According to state police, the driver of the 2006 Toyota Scion involved in the crash, Jeffrey Levesque, 24, of Londonderry, NH, was speeding when he left the interstate near the merger with I-93 south and crashed the vehicle in the wooded median.

Jesse Pena, 25, of Lowell, MA, was sitting in the front passenger seat, while Chase Abreu, 25, of Pelham and Alex DeFreitas, 24, of Londonderry were sitting in the back seat. Only Levesque was wearing a seat belt, police said.

Autopsy reports released yesterday showed that all four men were killed instantly.

The four men who had known each other since middle school were reported missing on Saturday. Their car was found by a friend on Sunday.

They were last seen at the Black Brimmer American Bar and Grill in Manchester.
