CAMPTON, NH — The local fire department credited bystanders with likely saving a life after a collision with a moose mangled a car on I-93. The two people in the car "are lucky to be alive," the Campton Fire Department said.

The crash occurred just before 11 p.m. on Saturday night. The car was driving north on I-93 when they struck the moose, forcing them off the road and into trees. The driver was able to get out of the vehicle, but the passenger was trapped. Bystanders helped lift the roof of the passenger and remove the person.

Both people were wearing seatbelts, officials said. The driver suffered minor injuries and the passenger suffered serious injuries.
