SUMMARY OF INCIDENT: On the
above date and time, Troopers responded to a report of a tractor trailer stuck
in "the notch" on Rt 108S in the town of Cambridge. Investigation
revealed the operator, Musa Boima, 36, of Maryland, was traveling from Waterbury
to Enosburg when he chose to disregard several signs stating tractor trailers
were prohibited, and decided to drive around chicanes that were installed at
the entrance to the notch road. Boima claimed he saw a sign telling him he
could drive through. As a result, the notch was closed for approximately three
hours while Polar Bear Towing and Recovery assisted with getting the tractor
trailer out. Boima was issued a civil traffic ticket for a violation of Title
23 VSA 1038 "driving on lanes for traffic" and per Vermont law, the
company Boima works for was issued a ticket for Title 23 VSA 1006(b)
"tractor trailer in the notch" which carries a fine of $2,347.00. The
State Police were also assisted by an Investigator with the Department of Motor
vehicles, Stowe Police, and VTRANS officials.
