Fatal Motorcycle Crash on US Route 3
On April 17, 2026, at 10:55 AM, the Campton Police Department, along with Campton-Thornton Fire Rescue, responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a motorcycle crash with injury on US Route 3 in the area of Town Pound Road. The rider of the motorcycle, identified as Elias Alexandro Ramos, age 18, of Douglas, Massachusetts, was located deceased at the scene.
Preliminary investigation reveals that Ramos was operating a 2024 Honda Navi north on US Route 3, and for reasons currently under investigation, went off the right side of the road, striking a guardrail, and was thrown from the motorcycle. Speed and/or alcohol are not believed to have contributed to the crash, and police believe a helmet was worn but improperly secured. US Route 3 was shut down for several hours as Campton Police investigated the crash.
The Campton Police Department was assisted on scene by Campton-Thornton Fire Rescue, New Hampshire Department of Transportation, and several good Samaritans who had stopped and provided first aid before the arrival of public safety responders.
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to contact the Campton Police Department (603) 726-8874.
