Police say a missing husband and wife from New Hampshire who both have dementia have been found in upstate New York following a minor car accident.

Police in Bedford, New Hampshire, said earlier Friday that 79-year-old Norman Lepine and 77-year-old Shirley Lepine were last seen traveling together on Interstate 90 in the area of Waterloo, New York, on Thursday night by New York State Police. That happened before the release of a report that they were missing.

A spokesman for Bedford police said the Lepines were found following a minor motor vehicle accident in upstate New York. He said they were fine.

The couple were last seen by their daughter at their Bedford home Wednesday afternoon. They don't own a cellphone.

Police in Massachusetts and Vermont also were notified.
