Soon to be former Executive Director of the Conway Area Humane Society Virginia Moore has announced her resignation of the non-profit. Moore made first mention of the decision in a social media post this past Saturday saying, “The shelter and I have decided that we are going in different directions and it is best to part ways.” She also made note of all the people she wanted to thank for the 14 year journey and stated that she wished the best to all the staff who, “dedicate their lives to walking, cleaning up after, feeding and loving the cats and dogs who end up in the shelter’s care through no fault of their own.” Today the Conway Area Humane Society’s facebook page made its own announcement thanking Virginia for her tireless dedication and explaining they didn’t announce her resignation until now so that she could make the announcement on her own in her own way.
New Hampshire State Police report a Conway man accidentally crashed a dump truck into an overpass on I-93. Police say the man was southbound on Interstate 93 around Exit 17W when the dump truck he was driving lifted the dump body into the upright position. The reason for it lifting into the upright position remains unknown. The raised dump body then struck the Hoit Road Bridge and scattered debris, including the dump body, across the road. Three other vehicles were impacted by the incident. No serious injuries were reported but several people were taken to the hospital as a precaution and the Interstate was shut down for bridge repairs. The event remains under investigation and the Conway Driver has been issued a summons for negligent driving.
Firefighters worked to combat a fire at 11 Runnells Hall Road in the early afternoon today. Route 16 had to be temporarily shutdown so that firehoses could be run across the road.

American Red Cross New Hampshire and Vermont reported having trained volunteers on scene to assist and promised to provide food, shelter, clothing, mental health counseling and referral services as needed.
