Vermont State Police say a two-vehicle collision occurred on February 28, 2026, around 9:42 a.m. on US Route 2 West in Danville. The incident involved a 73-year-old woman from Hardwick, identified as Roberta Cookhubner, driving a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek, and a 79-year-old man from Lyndon, Larry Stewart, operating a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.
According to police reports, both vehicles were traveling westbound when Stewart attempted a left turn into a private driveway. Cookhubner, driving behind Stewart, could not stop in time and attempted to pass, resulting in a sideswipe collision. Damage to both vehicles was described as moderate, with the Subaru sustaining damage to the passenger side and the Mitsubishi to the driver’s side. The Mitsubishi is registered to the Caledonia County Sheriff’s Office. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and both vehicles were towed from the scene.
The investigation is ongoing, and all charges are merely allegations at this stage. Court dates and any potential legal actions may evolve as the case progresses.
