Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle crash occurred on Interstate 91 South in Bradford on March 21 around 11:39 a.m. The operator, 67-year-old Judith Bourque from Kirby, Vermont, reportedly fell asleep while driving, causing her 2019 Toyota RAV4 to veer off the road.
According to police, Bourque drifted off the interstate and, upon waking, overcorrected her steering to the left, colliding with the guardrail. The vehicle then traveled over the guardrail before coming to rest back on the interstate. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the vehicle sustained extensive damage and was deemed totaled. JTB Towing was called to the scene to remove the wreckage.
Currently, there are no charges filed against Bourque, and no court action is pending. Police emphasize that the investigation is ongoing, and the situation may evolve as necessary.
