In talking with witnesses and occupants of the vehicles it was determined the Ford F-150, operated by Emma Wunsch, was traveling northbound on I-91 when it side swiped the Mercedes 350, operated by Edirald Mxhari, and lost control. The F-150 went into the median where it struck a tree. Wunsch was transported to the hospital for treatment of injuries. A passenger in the Mercedes was transported to the hospital out of precaution. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but speed and alcohol appear to have been a factor.

Vermont State Police provides update on assault investigation in Brandon

 

BRANDON, Vermont (Thursday, June 25, 2026) — The search for Tamara Stone, 51, of Brandon as a person of interest in an assault Thursday morning on Triangle Court is continuing.

 

The Vermont State Police can confirm that the underlying incident involved an attack on two of Stone’s adult relatives, both of whom were stabbed and suffered serious injuries. One victim was taken by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and the other was brought by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center. Their conditions are unknown at this time. VSP will withhold their names and other details because they are the victims of domestic violence.

 

Investigative efforts and the search for Stone have continued throughout the day and involve members of the state police’s Major Crime Unit, Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Field Force Division, Crime Scene Search Team, Tactical Services Unit, K-9 Unit, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program, and the Victim Services Unit.

 

Other law-enforcement agencies have provided assistance including the Brandon, Pittsford and Rutland Town police departments, and the Warden Service Division of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.
