SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On 6/30/25 at approximately 09:41 hours, Vermont State Police responded to a reported four (4) vehicle motor vehicle crash on Vermont Route 15 in the Town of Cambridge.  Further investigation revealed that all four vehicles involved were traveling east on Vermont Route 15, approaching the roundabout.  A vehicle which was not involved in the crash was making a left turn into a private business.  Vehicle 2 was directly behind the vehicle attempting to make the left turn followed by vehicles 3 and 4. All three vehicles were able to come to a complete stop prior to the crash occurring.  Vehicle 1, which was the last vehicle in line, was not able to slow down in time and collided with the rear end of Vehicle 4.  From the impact, the front end of vehicle 4 struck the rear end of vehicle 3, which subsequently caused the front end of vehicle 3 to collide with vehicle 2. The operator of vehicle 3 was subsequently transported to the UVM Medical Center for suspected minor injuries.  The Vermont State Police were assisted by members of the Cambridge Fire Department and members of Cambridge Rescue.
