Vermont State Police say that Interstate 89 in the Williston and Richmond area has reopened to regular traffic following a vehicle crash. The incident, which occurred near mile-marker 80 between the Richmond and Williston exits, led to one lane being closed as recovery efforts were initiated.
According to the report, motorists should still exercise caution due to slick driving conditions in the region. While no significant injuries have been reported, the crash resulted in a backup of traffic as an unrelated vehicle was also obstructing the roadway south of the crash site. Police indicate that this situation has caused delays but does not appear to be a long-term closure.
The Vermont Department of Public Safety urges drivers to remain patient and drive safely in the area. As recovery operations proceed, it is advisable for motorists to stay informed about potential changes in traffic conditions. The legal status of any involved parties remains uncertain as the situation develops.
