SUMMARY OF CRASH:  On 1/13/25 at approximately 04:39 AM, Vermont State Police received a report of a one car rollover crash with injury on I-89 South in the Town of Georgia.  Troopers responded.  The investigation has thus far determined that Vehicle 1, a 2016 Ford Taurus, was attempting to pass a vehicle, when that vehicle jerked to the side or lost control.  That other (as yet unknown) vehicle came into Vehicle 1’s lane.  Vehicle 1 struck something in the road and went off into the median.  Vehicle 1 rolled.  Operator 1, Ryan Taylor (age 19), was treated at Northwest Medical Center in St. Albans for apparent minor injury.  Vehicle 1 was totaled.

 

Speed and road conditions may also be contributing factors.  No enforcement action taken.
