Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle rollover on Interstate 89 North in Brookfield on January 1, 2026, resulted in minor injuries to the driver, a 60-year-old man from Canton, NY. The incident occurred around 1:03 PM near mile marker 38, as the vehicle, a 2026 Nissan Rogue, was traveling in the left lane.
According to police reports, the driver lost control, drifting into snow along the median before striking a guardrail. The vehicle then rolled onto its driver’s side, ultimately coming to rest in the median. Emergency services, including the Brookfield Fire Department, responded to the scene. The driver reported experiencing back pain and was transported to Gifford Medical Center for evaluation.
The vehicle sustained significant damage to the front bumper and both driver’s side doors. Police note that the driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. As the investigation continues, the circumstances surrounding the incident are still being assessed. Charges may be filed, and court dates will be determined as the case progresses.
