CONCORD – New Hampshire’s highway deaths are running way ahead of last year, with the busy holiday season still ahead.
As of Sunday, 156 people died on New Hampshire roads this year, up from 119 during the same period last year.

This year’s death toll already has passed the totals from the last two years, when fewer than 130 people died.
