This was the 3rd serious motorcycle accident in Hampstead this year and the second fatal crash.
On June 26, Marceline Weaver, 49, of Salem, was killed on Route 111 when an SUV driven by a Windham man, Randall Stewart, plowed into a group of motorcyclists participating in the Knight Memorial Ride.
Two other motorcyclists were hurt, including one who suffered a serious leg injury and was flown to a Boston hospital. Stewart was charged with negligent homicide, reckless conduct and aggravated driving while intoxicated.
A week later, Walter Leskiw, 61, of Sandown was trying out a new motorcycle on Route 111 when he collided with an SUV and then a Mazda, police said. He suffered serious injuries and was flown to Boston for treatment.
