Volunteer firefighter Stephen Whitcomb rushed to the scene of a car crash in Brookline, New Hampshire on Christmas Eve. As he worried whether the female victim would survive, he sadly recognized her as his 30-year-old daughter.
Katie Hamilton, the firefighter’s daughter, was driving to work Christmas Eve morning after dropping her three children off at their grandmother’s house. It was around 9:00 AM when the deadly crash occurred. Hamilton was preparing to take a left turn when a Toyota Tundra pickup truck struck the side of her vehicle, causing her to veer into oncoming traffic where a second pickup truck collided with her vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene, just moments before her first-responder father arrived.
According to police, speed nor alcohol seem to be factors in the fatal crash. However, police are investigating whether driver inattentiveness could have caused the wreck.
Car accidents can result in serious personal injuries and sometimes even death that can greatly disrupt the lives of the victim and her family.
