DOVER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man has been indicted in a hit-and-run crash that killed the commander of the New Hampshire Air National Guard. Eighty-one-year-old Paul Clement of Rochester was indicted Oct. 17 on charges including negligent homicide. He is free on personal recognizance and faces arraignment Nov. 5. A phone message seeking comment was left Monday for his attorney. Police say Brig. Gen. John Pogorek was securing a load on his trailer on a Rochester roadside in July when he was struck by an SUV that continued without stopping. The Foster’s Daily Democrat newspaper reported Clement told police in court documents that he had been drinking.
