House fire sends 1 to hospital

Secore — at 105 mph and saw him use the opposite lane of travel to pass other vehicles.

As the trooper caught up to the GMC, Secore abruptly turned into a residential driveway and got out of the vehicle despite being told to remain in the pickup, state police said. Believing he was about to flee, state police immediately took him into custody.

According to state police, Secore later allegedly admitted he was aware that the trooper was about to initiate a traffic stop and that he accelerated and entered a driveway in an attempt to elude police.

Secore has been released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and is scheduled to be arraigned in Manchester Superior Court on April 12.
