SALEM, NH — Salem Police are investigating a fatal motorcycle accident that happened Monday evening on Zion Hill Road.
At about 5:20 p.m. on April 6, a 47-year-old man from Deerfield suffered serious, life-threatening injuries and was transported to Parkland Medical Center in Derry by the Salem Fire Department. He later succumbed to his injuries.
