HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) - Police said they made 103 arrests over the July Fourth weekend at New Hampshire's Hampton Beach.

Police Chief Jamie Sullivan described the holiday weekend as active, but not crazy, the Portsmouth Herald reported.

Sullivan said the department received more than 400 calls for service. In addition to arrests, the department responded to 11 accidents with the most significant one happening Friday night when a vehicle struck a pedestrian.

He said 39-year-old Shannon Capriulo of Florida was crossing a street when she was stuck by a car driven by 31-year-old Jason Ludden of Maine. She's been hospitalized in critical condition.

The accident is under investigation.
