Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle accident occurred on Boston Post Road in Bakersfield on March 22, 2026, around 3:55 PM. The driver, 33-year-old Matthew Borden of Richford, lost control of his 2021 Ford F-150, which veered off the roadway and sustained moderate front-end damage.
According to police, Borden was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the incident and was suspected to have sustained minor injuries. He was subsequently transported to Northwestern Medical Center by Enosburg Ambulance Service for treatment. The crash occurred under poor road conditions due to snow, which likely contributed to Borden’s loss of control. The Bakersfield Fire Department and Stone’s Towing also assisted at the scene.
As the investigation continues, charges may be filed based on the findings. Court dates and specific charges remain subject to change as the legal process unfolds.
