According to police reports, a rollover accident occurred on December 8, 2025, at approximately 10:02 a.m. on Interstate 91 southbound in St. Johnsbury, near mile marker 133.6. The Vermont State Police received multiple 911 calls about the incident, which involved a 2021 Subaru Forester operated by 65-year-old Malcolm Doak from Kirby, VT.
Upon arrival, police say both Doak and his passenger, 64-year-old Carole Doak, were trapped inside the vehicle. Responding officers initiated rescue efforts until personnel from CALEX Ambulance and the St. Johnsbury Fire Department arrived to assist. Both individuals were successfully extricated and transported to Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (NVRH) for precautionary evaluation, though initial reports indicate they sustained only minor injuries.
The preliminary investigation suggests that the crash may have been influenced by the vehicle’s insufficient winter tires. Charges have not been filed in connection with the incident at this time.
As the investigation continues, authorities note that the circumstances surrounding the crash may evolve, and any potential charges will be determined as more information becomes available.
