SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On 9/2/25 at approximately 0719 hours, Troopers came upon a crash while patrolling the area of US Route 7 and New Haven Road in the Town of Ferrisburgh. There was only one stop sign at the intersection for vehicles entering from New Haven Road. Investigation revealed V#1 was traveling east on New Haven Road while V#2 was traveling south on US Route 7, each at a reasonable speed. V#2 entered the intersection without yielding to V#1. As a result, the front end of V#2 struck the driver's side of V#1 and both vehicles came to respective positions of uncontrolled rest. OP#1 was transported to the hospital by ambulance for suspected minor injuries. US Route 7 was reduced to one lane for approximately one hour.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Middlebury Police Department, Vergennes Fire Department, and Vergennes Area Rescue Squad.
