SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On May 27, 2025, at approximately 20:54, Troopers from the Vermont State Police – Williston Barracks were notified of a two-vehicle crash on I-89 Southbound near MM 90.4 in the town of Winooski. Operator #1 Mamishi (61) was traveling southbound in the traveling lane and Operator #2 Carman (50) was also traveling southbound in the passing lane. The investigation revealed, while traveling southbound in the right traveling lane, Mamishi changed lanes and struck Carman from behind, causing Carman to veer off to the guardrail near the median and bounce off hitting Mamishi's vehicle on the left side. Once Mamishi passed and stopped on the shoulder a few feet ahead. Carman continued to spin into the guardrail on the traveling lane, where the vehicle came to an uncontrolled rest on shoulder facing west.
