"One person was seriously injured and a moose was euthanized after two cars struck the animal Wednesday night on a New Hampshire highway. New Hampshire State Police responded to a report of the crash on Route 101 in Candia at about 8:10 p.m. "When Troopers arrived, they determined that the driver of a Mazda 3 was traveling eastbound when the car struck a moose," police said.
