A Thursday afternoon crash in Peterborough sent one man to Monadnock Community Hospital for examination. Police responded to the intersection of Elm Street, Main Street, and Union Street after a call at 3:14 p.m., after a 2014 Jeep Cherokee operated by Tiffany Truglia, 30, collided with a 2018 Toyota Rav4 driven by Paul Wardlaw, 61, of Dublin.
Wardlaw’s vehicle was stopped at the intersection after traveling up from Elm Street and Truglia’s vehicle was preparing to turn left onto Elm Street from Main Street when Truglia’s phone fell off her lap and she looked down, intending to retrieve it, Police Chief Scott Guinard said. Her vehicle collided with Wardlaw’s, and both vehicles sustained damage to their left front sides and had to be towed from the scene, he said. The accident was due to driver inattention on the part of Truglia, Guinard said. Although no injuries were reported initially, Wardlaw later requested an ambulance ride to Monadnock Community hospital, complaining of neck and head pain, he said.
