Responding Troopers arrived on scene and found the vehicle fully engulfed. The operator, identified as Alyssa Presley (26) of South Burlington, VT, and her passenger made it safely out of the vehicle. Further investigation determined Presley was driving South when a vehicle veered into her lane which caused her vehicle to leave the roadway and strike a guardrail. The crash investigation is still ongoing. Both Presley and her passenger declined medical attention on scene but were provided a courtesy transport to Central Vermont Medical Center at their request. The Interstate was reduced to a single lane while the Berlin Fire Department dealt with the vehicle fire.
