At 6:18 AM this morning the Londonderry Police Department responded to a single-car motor vehicle accident in the vicinity of 393 Mammoth Road. It had been reported that vehicle was on fire and the operator trapped inside. Sergeant Patrick Cheetham was first on scene and found a Good Samaritan, Earl Wickline of Londonderry, attempting to knockdown the fire with an extinguisher he had received from a resident of the neighborhood. Another Good Samaritan, Apryl Norris of Londonderry, was also assisting and she, Wickline, Sergeant Cheetham, Officer Jake King, and Officer Adam Lane were ultimately able to free the operator from the vehicle.
The Londonderry Fire Department coordinated with Boston Med-Flight, who transported the patient from the parking lot of St Jude’s on Mammoth Road to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. His condition is unknown and his identity will not be released until relatives have been notified.
The operator did have a dog in the vehicle with him, which did sustain injury as a result of the accident. Officer Shannon Sargent transported the animal to an emergency animal clinic in Manchester and we have been informed that the injuries were not life threatening.
The cause of the accident is on-going, but the initial investigation has revealed that the operator was traveling southbound on Mammoth Road before veering off the northbound shoulder and into a tree. The roadway did have a layer of snow on it at the time, but it has not been determined if this was the cause.

I would like to thank each one of the heroes that acted so quickly to help my brother at the scene of this horrible accident. Without your quick thinking and actions my brother would have been killed in the fire. I am grateful to each one of you. These words seem like so little in comparison to what you all just automatically did in a crisis. I thank God for each of you.
I agree You guys are heros. While I wasnt able to be there to help, I was available to be the first to help and treat your brothers dog when he was brought to the Center for Advanced Veterinary Care. Harry suffered some small abraisions, but he was otherwise ok. I hope your brother recovers well. My prayers go out to your brother and your family.

Jamie, Thank you so much for yor help as well. Harry is a very important part of my brothers life . We told my bother’s nurses that Harry was rescued as well and is doing fine , because I’m pretty sure when he regains conciousness, that” where’s Harry” will be one of his first questions. It is good to be reminded that the world is full of good compassionate people that step right up without hesitation when immediate action is required. Thank you and everyone else involved in helping my brother and Harry. Thank you for your prayers, we need them very much.

Prayers to your brother and your family Patricia. From all of us at Londonderrynh.net.
Patricia , i’m sorry i missed you guys the day you came out here, it was an honor to be able to help out in the rescue, you honestly don’t know how grateful i am to have been here that night. Even though our thoughts were that he was already dead , I knew we still had to get him out either way. I’m just so happy that he’s going to be okay and if it was okay i would love to meet him when he is better along with Harry
Im glad he is going to be ok. I have had several animals come into the hospital, that were part of accidents and after a family member picks up the pet we don’t hear anything about how the owner is doing. Thank you for keeping us posted. Jamie
I am sorry we missed you too. I am sure that my brother will want to meet you as well. He would’ve been dead if it were not for your actions. You are a brave young lady of exceptional character. May God bless you.
I would like to know how your brother and harry are doing? I pray they are doing well and are recovering quickly.
Jamie
Harry is doing ok, but really missing his master. My brother is having a very tough time. He has had two surgeries on his left arm and reconstructive surgery on his face. He is in a lot of pain and still on a lot of pain meds which keep him out of it for most of the time. He faces a long road to recovery. No longer in ICU, but a step down from that. Thanks for asking, Jamie
Patricia Its been a few months. Just curious how your brother is doing and has he been reunited with Harry yet? I pray that he is doing well and has his harry boy back.
Jamie
Hey Jamie, Bob and Harry wre reunited at the end of March. Bob’s broken bones and lacerations are all healed, but he still has problems will dizziness and vision in one eye. He can’t go back to work until the dizziness is under control. That could take 8 months or more. Thank you for your concern and prayers. Please continue to pray for him as he comes to your mind. It is difficult for him being so dizzy and off balance and out of work.
Take Care,
Pattie
