A Hillsborough County Superior Court South grand jury has indicted Jason Fitzgerald in connection with a May 11 auto-pedestrian collision that resulted in a fatality.
According to the grand jury, Fitzgerald faces two indictments related to the incident, which occurred on Route 101A near the intersection with Nashua Road in Amherst. The collision involved Fitzgerald's vehicle striking a pedestrian, identified as a longtime resident of the area.
Authorities reported that the pedestrian sustained critical injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency medical services, including AMR and local police, responded promptly. The identity of the victim has yet to be officially released pending notification of next of kin.

According to the New Hampshire State Police, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision is ongoing. Fitzgerald is expected to appear in court for arraignment in the coming weeks.
