ANTRIM, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire state police say two people are dead after a two-vehicle crash in Antrim, involving a teenager from the Ontario County town of Farmington.

Authorities say 67-year-old Janet Withington and her passenger, 63-year-old James Bouchard, both of Hillsborough, died of injuries sustained in the Saturday night crash on Route 9.

Police say 18-year-old Liam Flaherty of Farmington, New York, was driving westbound on Route 9 just before 7 p.m. when he apparently lost control. Police say he went off the roadway to the right, then came back onto the roadway and crossed the center line, hitting the Toyota RAV 4 driven by Withington nearly head-on.

Flaherty was not injured. Withington died of her injuries at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Bouchard was pronounced dead at the scene.
