Police said a Manchester man suffered serious, life-threatening injuries in a crash on Route 101 in Bedford Monday. Police said the 20-year-old man was driving west when his 1999 Ford Contour crossed the center line at about 5:15 p.m., hit a landscaping trailer and then slammed head-on into an oncoming pickup truck. Emergency crews had to cut the roof off the Contour in order to free the driver from the wreckage. He was first taken to a local hospital and then flown to an out-of-state hospital for treatment. His condition was not known Tuesday morning. The driver of the truck, a 49-year-old woman from Bedford, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
