SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On 10/20/21 at 1012 hours Troopers from the VSP Rutland barracks responded to
the area of the Killington flats and the Turn of the River Lodge, Box 5672 US 4
in the Town of Killington for a 3 car motor vehicle crash with entrapment.
Killington Fire/Rescue, Regional Ambulance Service, and VSP Crash Reconstruction
Team responded.
Investigation into the crash determined that a line of vehicle traffic was
traveling eastbound on US 4. From the line of vehicles, two vehicles attempted
to pass/overtake the lead vehicle; (a 20′ Box truck). A collision between the
two vehicles caused the vehicles to lose control, and one of the vehicles to
then crash into the lead vehicle; (a 20′ Box truck). That second crash caused
the lead vehicle to lose control, travel from the roadway, and overturn down a
15′ embankment. The operator of the Box truck was found partially ejected and
deceased. No other operators/passengers were injured.
Further investigation to follow. Anyone with information concerning the crash
please contact Cpl Mark Busier at the VSP Rutland Barracks 802-773-9101
*Please note: court date and time are subject to change at the discretion of
the court. Please call the criminal court clerk to confirm the arraignment time.
