According to police reports, a single-vehicle crash occurred on Vermont Route 103 in East Wallingford early on February 26, 2026, involving a 35-year-old woman from Ludlow. The operator, Cailin Mattheiss, was traveling northbound when she lost control while attempting to navigate a left-hand curve, resulting in her vehicle leaving the roadway and rolling into a ditch.
Police say Mattheiss sustained minor injuries from the incident and was subsequently transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center for evaluation. During the investigation, officers noted signs of impairment, leading to a DUI screening. Following processing, Mattheiss was released to a sober individual and received a citation.
Mattheiss has been charged with DUI and is scheduled to appear in Rutland Superior Court Criminal Division on May 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Police emphasize that these charges are allegations, and the court date is subject to change. Individuals are encouraged to contact the criminal court clerk for confirmation of the arraignment time.
