Four people were hurt in a five-vehicle crash Friday caused by a wrong-way driver on the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Nashua, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Police said an 83-year-old woman from Merrimack was driving north in the southbound lanes of the highway late Friday morning when she collided head-on with a pickup truck. One of the vehicles then struck a Jeep, which went off the road and rolled over. Two other cars also were struck.

Three southbound lanes were closed for about three hours, and footage from NBC10 Boston's SkyRanger helicopter early Friday afternoon showed a heavy backup of traffic.
