At 2:20 a.m., Trooper Gary Wood Jr. observed a green 1996 Nissan Maxima driving at 106 mph southbound on the turnpike allegedly operated by Christopher Deputat, 31, of Laconia, according to police. The car matched the description of a vehicle fled from a Dover police officer minutes earlier.
As Wood caught up to the vehicle, he observed obvious lane control issues and suspected that the driver was possibly impaired, police said.
