Vermont State Police say a two-vehicle crash occurred on March 7, 2026, at approximately 2:07 p.m. near the intersection of U.S. Route 5 and Henwood Hill in Westminster. The accident involved a 2015 Toyota Highlander driven by 19-year-old Kelsey Bacon from Rockingham and a 2006 BMW 530xi operated by 32-year-old Alysia Barbera of Brattleboro.
According to police reports, both vehicles were totaled, but neither driver sustained injuries and no one was taken to the hospital. Emergency services, including police, EMS, and fire units, responded promptly to the scene. Initial investigations suggest that Bacon’s vehicle was exiting Henwood Hill when it was struck by Barbera’s southbound car on U.S. Route 5. The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation, with additional factors being considered by authorities.
No charges have been filed at this time, and there are currently no court dates or legal actions associated with this incident. As investigations continue, police say that the circumstances surrounding the crash may evolve.
