NASHUA, N.H. (KGO) -- A New Hampshire teenager found himself in a lot of danger after he lost control of his car and ended up teetering on a bridge guardrail.



Police say 17-year-old Colin Malone was driving east on the Hudson Connector in Nashua about 3:30 p.m. Saturday when he lost control of the vehicle and hit a small snow embankment in the right breakdown lane, which caused his car to go airborne and sail through the air before coming to rest on the railing of the Sagamore Bridge. The rear of Malone's car was suspended above the Merrimack River.



Troopers say Malone failed to keep his car within the roadway's markings and cited him for a highway markings violation.



Neither alcohol nor drugs are suspected to be factors in the accident.
