That came after an earlier update about 20 minutes earlier reporting that I-93 south in Bow was closed at mile marker 34.8 due to a separate multiple vehicle crash. All lanes reopened around 8:52 a.m.

State police also dealt with a multiple vehicle crash on the Spaulding Turnpike southbound, and they said in a social media post around 8:20 a.m. that the two left lanes were closed at mile marker 4.4 in Dover.

Another multiple vehicle crash was reported around 8:45 a.m. on Route 101 east in Hampton, shutting down eastbound traffic.

A crash was also reported around 6 a.m. on Interstate 95 in North Hampton in the area of mile marker 7.2 where a jackknifed tractor-trailer blocked the left three lanes on the northbound side of the highway. All lanes were reopened in less than an hour, state police said.

The F.E. Everett Turnpike also had to be closed temporarily due to a crash on Monday morning.

No serious injuries were reported in any of the crashes, state police said.

The crashes were reported after much of southern New Hampshire received at least several inches of snow overnight as a winter storm moved through the area.
