Waterbury motor vehicle crash leads to minor injuries

Vermont State Police say a 79-year-old resident of Milton, Delaware, was cited following a two-vehicle crash on Waterbury Stowe Road in Waterbury on June 11, 2026. The incident occurred around 2:44 PM when Mary Cricenti reportedly fell asleep while driving north, crossing the double yellow line. Her Subaru Outback struck a telephone pole, which subsequently fell onto a Ram 1500 operated by 67-year-old Timothy Bachman of Millersville, Pennsylvania.

According to the report, Bachman swerved to avoid a more severe collision, resulting in his vehicle overturning. Both Bachman and his 65-year-old passenger, Christine Bachman, sustained suspected minor injuries and were transported to Central Vermont Medical Center for evaluation. Cricenti’s vehicle suffered significant front-end damage, while Bachman’s vehicle sustained heavy damage on the driver’s side.

Emergency responders from the Waterbury Fire Department, Waterbury Ambulance Service, and Stowe Police Department assisted at the scene. Waterbury Stowe Road was closed for several hours as Green Mountain Power crews worked to repair the downed telephone pole and wires.

No court date has been set, and the charges remain allegations as the case progresses.
