Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle crash occurred on Interstate 89 North in Swanton on November 30 at approximately 8:23 a.m. A 16-year-old driver from Alburgh was operating a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek when they struck a guardrail near mile marker 120.2.
According to police, the vehicle was left partially hanging on the guardrail, resulting in front-end damage to the car and the guardrail itself. Emergency Medical Services evaluated the juvenile driver at the scene as a precaution, but no injuries were reported. The vehicle was subsequently removed from the roadway, and a family member provided transportation for the driver. Initial investigations suggest that inattention may have contributed to the crash, but inquiries are ongoing.
The Swanton Fire Department, Amcare Ambulance Service, and TDI Towing assisted law enforcement at the scene. The investigation remains active, and any charges will be based on the findings. Court dates and potential charges are subject to change as the case progresses.
