**** PRESS RELEASE ****

For Immediate Release:

On June 4, 2026, around 11:16 AM, police, fire, and EMS were dispatched to 89 Chocorua Mountain Highway for a motor vehicle accident involving a coach bus and passenger vehicle.

The bus was reported to be a transport bus for the federal prison system and was transporting 25 incarcerated individuals.

A preliminary investigation determined that the operator of the Honda CR-V, operated by an 81yo female, was driving North on Route 16, when she missed her turn onto Deer Hill Rd, then made a turn into the Chocorua Post Office. Upon attempting to exit the post office, the operator failed to yield to the coach bus traveling North on Route 16 and struck the rear right tire of the bus.

The bus was moved to the post office parking lot, in order to conduct the investigation and have EMS follow their protocols for assessing all involved.

While there was a heavy police presence in the area, at no time was the public at risk or in danger.

The Tamworth Police Department was assisted by Tamworth Fire/Rescue, Action Ambulance, Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, and New Hampshire State Police.

Respectfully,
Dana Littlefield
Chief of Police

🚨SCAM ALERT 🚨

Tell me you’re a scam without telling me you’re a scam….

Folks, even the scammers are getting lazy and using Ai. I can assure you that no officer will give you a ticket or a summons to court that looks as fancy as this, we’re barely beyond typewriter print in this profession!

If you received this, ignore it! Don’t click on the link out of curiosity, just trash it, report it as spam, roll your eyes, laugh, or do whatever you do with scam texts and emails.

If only all scams were as easy to recognize as this. Remember, NEVER give out your info to someone you did not initiate a call with, NEVER buy gift cards to pay a stranger, and NEVER click on links from people you don’t know (and some you do know). 😉

Be vigilant! Be safe! 👮🏼‍♂️

🌺 History of the Poppy 🌺

“These brilliant annuals are resilient little things-they can grow and thrive in the harshest landscapes, including battlefields. According to The American Legion, the significance of this flower arose during the Great War (now known as World War I). The once bucolic fields around Flanders, Belgium, had been decimated by the bombardments of battle. Yet among the rubble and bloodshed, these brilliant beauties were able to bloom.

Allied battle surgeon and poet Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was deeply moved when he saw the otherwise barren meadows blanketed in a brilliant display of color. It was the spring of 1915, just after a battle that resulted in the deaths of 87,000 Allied soldiers. McCrae responded to the sight by composing a poem on the spot, written from the perspective of those who had perished. The poem was published in Punch magazine later that year and would become one of the most famous works to emerge from the First World War.” (https://www.thepioneerwoman.com) 🌺
