SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On 12/4/25 at approximately 1450 hours, Troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Middlebrook Road and Shellhouse Mountain Road in the Town of Ferrisburgh. Investigation revealed V#1 was traveling south on Shellhouse Mountain Road while V#2 was traveling east on Middlebrook Road, each at a reasonable speed. At that time, V#1 failed to stop at a stop sign and entered the intersection without yielding to V#2. As a result, the front end of V#1 struck the front driver's side of V#2, and both vehicles came to respective upright positions of uncontrolled rest. No injuries resulted.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Ferrisburgh Fire Department.
