SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On the above listed date and time, the Vermont State Police responded to a three-vehicle crash near 4486 US-Route 5 in the Town of Derby. Investigation revealed Lafoe had slowed down, to come to a stop, while traveling south on US-Route 5 to yield to stopped traffic at a red light. Gleason failed to yield to Lafoe who was intending to come to a complete stop and crashed into the rear end of Lafoe’s vehicle while also traveling south. The crash caused Lafoe’s vehicle to then continue in a south direction, resulting in a secondary crash with Quirion’s vehicle. It was determined that Gleason was operating unnecessarily close to Lafoe, resulting in little to no time to yield to Lafoe, who was coming to a stop to yield to other vehicles stopped at a red light. Gleason reported non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by EMS to the North Country Hospital. Lafoe and Quirion reported no injuries. Gleason’s vehicle was towed from the scene by Ray’s Auto. Gleason was issued a VCVC for Title 23 V.S.A. 1039(a), Following too closely.
