West Woodstock — A 77-year-old Plainfield man was killed Friday in a two-car, head-on collision on Route 4 in West Woodstock.

William Moeller was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center with serious injuries after the crash near Echo Ledge Road shortly before noon, according to a news release from Woodstock police. He later died from his injuries, police said.

First responders found Moeller’s vehicle, a Toyota RAV 4, and a Hyundai Santa Fe that was driven by Kenneth R. Hendrick Jr., 26, of Bridgewater, in the westbound travel lane, authorities said.

The accident is under investigation. Police think Hendrick’s vehicle may have crossed the center line and struck Moeller’s vehicle, according to the news release.

Hendrick was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock with non-life-threatening injuries.

Anyone who saw the crash or who may have information is asked to contact the Woodstock Police Department at 802-457-1420.
