Anthony Caton Obituary: Tragic Death of 41-Year-Old Motorcyclist and Devoted Family Man from Round Lake, New York, in Fatal Accident on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire During Laconia Bike Week
Anthony Caton, a 41-year-old motorcyclist and devoted family man from Round Lake, New York, tragically lost his life in a fatal accident on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire over the weekend. The incident occurred on Saturday at 4:41 p.m. in Campton, resulting in the death of Caton and injuries to two other motorcyclists.
The New Hampshire State Police responded to the crash on I-93 south, where they found three motorcyclists injured, with their motorcycles resting on their sides. According to witness accounts and evidence collected at the scene, a strong gust of wind caused one of the motorcyclists to veer off the paved section of the highway and onto the gravel shoulder. The motorcyclist then returned to the road but lost control, resulting in a crash where the motorcycle tipped onto its side.
To avoid a collision, the other two motorcyclists laid down their bikes. The motorcyclist who initially went off the road was transported to Concord Hospital with severe injuries, while the second motorcyclist was taken to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth for minor injuries. Anthony Caton, the third motorcyclist, was also taken to Speare Memorial Hospital but was later airlifted to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center due to the severity of his injuries, where he was sadly pronounced dead.
