DANVERS (CBS) – A New Hampshire man faces multiple charges after he rolled over his truck with a child inside while allegedly driving impaired.

State police responded to Route 1 northbound in Danvers on Friday just before 12:30 p.m., when a truck rolled over, struck a fire hydrant and caused water to flood roads in the area.

Fernand R. Fauteux, 27, of Seabrook, N.H., was hospitalized after the crash with non-life threatening injuries, police said. His two-year-old daughter was not injured when the truck rolled over.

Due to the flooding from the broken fire hydrant, the right lane of Route 1 was closed for over an hour.
