According to police reports, a Marshfield man has been charged following a vehicle accident on December 7, 2025. Vermont State Police say 31-year-old Gabriel P. Riley allegedly crashed into a Green Mountain Power telephone pole on US Route 2 around 6:56 AM and subsequently left the scene without reporting the incident.
Troopers from the Berlin Barracks responded to the crash and found significant damage to the utility pole. An investigation determined that Riley failed to notify authorities about the accident, leading to the issuance of a criminal citation for leaving the scene of an accident, according to police.
Riley is scheduled to appear in the Vermont Superior Court, Washington Unit, Criminal Division on January 15, 2026, at 8:30 AM. It is important to note that the charges against him are allegations, and the court date is subject to change as the case progresses. The public can confirm the arraignment time by contacting the criminal court clerk.
The Vermont marshfield cited situation continues to develop.
