SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On the morning of 12/24/24, at approximately 0730 hours,
Troopers with the Vermont State Police St. Albans Barracks responded to
numerous weather-related motor vehicle incidents. One of these was a single
vehicle crash in the area of Interstate 89 South at mile marker 107.8 in the
Town of Georgia. Assisted by the Department of Motor Vehicles Enforcement
Division, Troopers arrived on scene and located a 2010 Toyota Tacoma off the
right shoulder of the interstate. Stone's Towing responded to the scene to tow
the vehicle.
Stone's Towing arrived on scene and had requested a second
truck to assist in the towing operation. The operator of the Tacoma (who
initially crashed), Jamie Campbell was in his vehicle assisting Stone's
operators with guiding his vehicle onto the flatbed. During this process, a
Dodge Durango was traveling south on Interstate 89 being operated by Krystal
Lockerby. Lockerby lost control of her vehicle and struck the tow truck and the
Tacoma being loaded onto it.
Troopers quickly requested Emergency Medical Services for
all occupants and operators. The Stone's operators were evaluated for injury
and Campbell was ultimately transported for suspected minor injuries.
The interstate was briefly shut down to allow for the safe
and expedient removal of all vehicles involved. The Vermont State Police was
assisted on scene by Georgia Fire, Fairfax Rescue, Stone's Towing and the
Department of Motor Vehicles.
This crash remains under investigation.
State Police remind operators to slow down and move over
when approaching emergency vehicles on the roadways. Additionally, drive
cautiously at all times especially in inclement weather.
