White River Valley Ambulance and Troopers from the Royalton Barracks responded and identified the operator as Mikayla Perkins (31) and the pedestrian as William Taggart (82). Perkins was cooperative with law enforcement throughout the investigation. Investigation revealed that Perkins navigated a blind curve and approached two pedestrians walking in the same direction that Perkins was traveling, one on the opposite side of the roadway and Taggart on the same side of the roadway. The secondary pedestrian entered the middle of the road and Perkins swerved right to avoid her, striking Taggart. There was no evidence to suggest that Perkins was operating at a high rate of speed, as the vehicle sustained minimal damage. Taggart was not seriously injured and was transported to Gifford Medical Center. Perkins was screened for drug and / or alcohol impairment and was determined to not be impaired. There are no pending criminal charges and no civil violations issued at this time. The crash remains under investigation.
