SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On 12/25/2021 at approximately 0720 hours, Vermont State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash that occurred on VT RT 103 west of RT 140 in Mt. Holly, VT. The weather was freezing rain and the road surface was ice-covered and slippery. Investigation revealed OP1 was traveling east when she crested a slight hill and observed V2 straddling the white line in the eastbound lane with its hazard lights on. OP1 applied the brakes but the icy road condition made V1 lose traction and start to fishtail. V1’s front-end collided with V2’s rear-end. OP2 was outside of V2 and was examining front-end damage to his vehicle from a crash that had occurred moments before. V2 had just crashed into the guardrail avoiding a deer in the roadway and had pulled over. OP2 and V2 were moved approximately 25 yards east from point of impact. OP2 was transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center by Regional Ambulance Service for possible shoulder injuries.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
Vermont State Police was assisted by Wallingford and Mt. Holly fire personnel.
This crash is still under investigation. Anyone with information please contact Sgt. Blake Cushing at 802-773-9101.
