Holloway's vehicle came to a point of uncontrolled rest after a front-end collision with a dirt embankment. Holloway was transported to Cottage Hospital for the treatment of suspected minor injuries. Speed and snow are contributing factors in this crash. Troopers were assisted by members of Woodsville Ambulance and the Groton Fire Department.
