According to police reports, a two-vehicle collision occurred on US Route 5 in Irasburg early Monday morning, resulting in injuries for one driver. Vermont State Police responded to the incident around 6:58 AM on January 9, 2026.
The crash involved a 2016 Toyota Corolla, driven by 27-year-old Tristian Landry of Newport City, and a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee operated by 39-year-old Jeffrey Como of Barton. Police say Landry’s vehicle veered off the road, striking a utility pole, which subsequently led to Como’s vehicle colliding with the downed pole and rolling over into a ditch. Como was transported to North Country Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, while Landry reported no injuries.
Additionally, an unoccupied 2008 Toyota Tundra parked nearby sustained minor damage from Landry’s vehicle. Emergency services from Orleans Fire and Orleans EMS assisted at the scene, along with personnel from Vermont Electric Cooperative and Wrights Towing.
The investigation is ongoing, and charges may be filed as authorities continue to assess the circumstances. The legal process will determine the outcomes for those involved, and court dates may be established as the case progresses.
