Claremont police said the driver, Amber King, 36, of Belding Street in Claremont, was arrested and charged with negligent homicide and aggravated driving while intoxicated, both Class B felonies.
The identity of the 32-year-old woman who was killed is being withheld until her family can be notified, police said. The other passengers, a 37-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, are being treated for serious injuries at DHMC. Police did not identify them, citing the ongoing investigation.
The car was heading east at about 1:30 this afternoon when it appears to have crossed into the westbound lane on a curve. It then struck a utility pole and rolled before coming to stop on its roof back in the eastbound lane. Dirt and debris littered the road between the utility pole and the car, which was now facing west.
The road was shut down for several hours and a New Hampshire State Police accident reconstruction team arrived on the scene.

Claremont — At least two people were seriously injured Saturday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash in Claremont just west of the Tractor Supply store on Main Street.
Witnesses who were on the scene just after the crash said a woman, one of the vehicle’s four occupants, was ejected from the car and landed in the Sugar River, which runs close to the road where the accident occurred.
“They got her out of the water and were giving her CPR,” said Diane Callum, of Newport, who was in the parking lot of Tractor Supply volunteering at a 4-H car wash.
“We were here doing the car wash when we heard the tires squeal and (a) crash,” Callum said. “The car rolled over and skidded on the roof. Just so terrible.”
