Derry man arraigned after hitting cars, building

By James A. Kimble

DERRY — A local man was arraigned Wednesday after he crashed his car into five parked cars along East Broadway on Tuesday night.

Thomas Crane, 54, of 1 Sawyer Court in Derry, faces charges of driving while intoxicated and driving after the suspension of his license.

When officers arrived at the accident, they found a 1993 Chevy Lumina had struck several cars. Witnesses identified the driver for officers, police said. The crash occurred near McAllister Court shortly after 7 p.m.

No one was hurt in the accident.

Crane was given a series of field sobriety tests by the officers and was then taken into custody. Police said Crane crashed into five cars and the facade of a nearby building. Three cars were towed from the scene, including Crane's, police said.

Crane was arraigned in Derry District Court. He was released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail.

His next court appearance is July 9.

A section of East Broadway, from Crystal Avenue to Manning Street, was closed for 90 minutes while the crash was being investigated and the cars were removed.
