Vermont State Police say a two-vehicle crash on Vermont Route 74 in Cornwall on March 20, 2026, resulted in life-threatening injuries for one driver. Authorities responded to the scene around 3:51 PM, where Emily C. McNamara, 41, of Cornwall, lost control of her 2022 Toyota 4Runner while traveling eastbound. According to police, her vehicle crossed into the westbound lane and collided with a 2025 Kenworth construction vehicle driven by 30-year-old Chase T. Atkins of Addison.
The impact caused significant damage to both vehicles, with McNamara’s vehicle ending up facing west in the eastbound lane. She was transported to the University of Vermont Medical Center for her injuries, while Atkins reported no injuries. Snowy conditions are believed to have contributed to the crash.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are encouraging anyone with information to contact the New Haven Barracks at 802-388-4919 or submit a tip online. Charges are pending as the investigation continues, and any court actions will be determined as more details emerge.
