Police Chief Paul Poirier and Officer Dan Shapiro broke a side window, pulled out the driver and attempted CPR. "We were able to pull him out of waist-deep water," Poirier said. This was the first fatal vehicle accident of the year in Barnstead, about 20 miles southeast of Laconia, Poirier said. The creek where it occurred does not have a name and narrows to a trickle during the summer. Rescuers were able to pull a man from this wreck Wednesday, but the man did not survive the crash.
