According to police reports, a 35-year-old man from Fletcher, Christopher Seagroves, has been charged in connection with a road rage incident that occurred on February 23, 2026. The Vermont State Police say Seagroves was identified as the operator of a dark-colored Audi SUV involved in a collision on Interstate 89 northbound at exit 20, which forced another vehicle off the roadway.
Following an investigation, Seagroves received a citation for several offenses, including aggravated assault, gross negligent operation, leaving the scene of an accident with resulting injuries, and driving with a suspended license. The victim, identified as 40-year-old Brian Hathaway from Fairfax, sustained minor injuries due to the incident, and his vehicle was severely damaged.
Seagroves is scheduled for arraignment at 8 a.m. on June 8, 2026, in the Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in St. Albans. These charges remain allegations at this stage, and the legal proceedings may evolve as the case progresses. Additional details will be made public once the affidavit of probable cause is filed with the court following the arraignment.
