 Saturday night after a social event. The commander of the New Hampshire Air National Guard has tragically died in a hit-and-run crash. A couple of nights ago, Police say Brigadier General John Pogorek was securing a load on his trailer on the side of the road in the city of Rochester on Crown Point Road Monday evening around 6.30 when he was struck by an SUV that kept on driving. Investigators later located the vehicle and its 81-year-old driver. The investigation continues. No charges have been filed. The 57-year-old Pogorek joined the Guard in 1999.
