OSSIPEE — Ossipee selectmen said Monday they have scheduled an emergency meeting for Thursday, when they will discuss the problem intersection of Route 28 and Route 171, where a 17-year-old girl was killed in a crash last Wednesday.
The selectmen said the intersection has been known to be dangerous for decades.
