Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle crash on US Route 2 in Alburgh early on April 30 led to moderate injuries for the 19-year-old driver, Robert Sawyer, from St. Albans. The accident occurred around 5:55 a.m. when Sawyer’s Hyundai Accent veered across the northbound lane and left the roadway, striking a utility pole before ultimately coming to rest against a tree.
According to police reports, emergency responders from Alburgh Fire and Alburgh Rescue were dispatched to the scene to assist. Sawyer was subsequently transported to Northwestern Medical Center for medical treatment. The vehicle sustained significant front-end damage due to the impact. The weather at the time of the crash was reported as light rain, contributing to wet road conditions.
The charges against Sawyer remain allegations at this point, with further legal proceedings anticipated. Court dates and potential charges may evolve as the case progresses.
