SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:
On 10/13/2025, at approximately 1132 hours, the Vermont
State Police received a report of a motor vehicle crash with property damage
that occurred on Grassy Brook Road near the intersection with Ginseng Lane in
the Town of Brookline (Windham County), Vermont. Investigation revealed that an
unknown vehicle left the roadway and struck multiple mailboxes, causing
significant damage before leaving the scene. The incident is believed to have
occurred during the overnight hours between 10/12/25-10/13/25, possibly around
2300 hours. The operator did not contact the property owners or law enforcement
following the incident. Pieces of the suspect vehicle were recovered at the
scene, including several red plastic components and a chrome reflective
fragment believed to be a part of a front bumper and fog-light assembly. The
debris suggests involvement of a red passenger vehicle, likely a compact or
midsized sedan or hatchback. Photographs of the recovered vehicle parts are
attached to this release. The Vermont State Police are seeking the public’s
assistance in identifying the vehicle and operator involved in this incident.
