The Hudson N.H. Police and Fire Departments responded to the Hudson Mobile Mart around 8 p.m. for a reported crash. When they arrived, they saw a Nissan Versa, driven by Ashleigh Dahlstrom, up against a gas pump that had tipped over onto a Lincoln MKC.

"Dahlstrom drifted into the southbound lane, then off the paved portion of the road along the southbound lane of Derry Street. This caused Dahlstrom to strike the business sign for TD Bank North. Dahlstrom continued to travel off the roadway, over a snowbank and into the parking lot of the Hudson Mobile Mart where she struck a gas pump," said a press release from police.
