According to police reports, a two-vehicle collision occurred on February 19, 2026, at approximately 5:12 PM near the intersection of US Route 5 and Shattuck Hill Road in Derby. The crash involved a 29-year-old Newport Town resident, Hannah Archambault, who was driving a 2014 Toyota RAV4, and an 18-year-old Derby resident, Kaylee Farnsworth, operating a 2022 Jeep Compass.
Police say Archambault was attempting to turn left from the Community National Bank parking lot onto US Route 5 when she failed to yield to Farnsworth, who was approaching in the left turn lane. Both drivers, along with a passenger in Farnsworth’s vehicle, sustained minor injuries. They did not require hospitalization, though Farnsworth was taken to North Country Hospital for evaluation. Both vehicles sustained significant front-end damage and were towed from the scene.
As a result of the incident, Archambault was charged with a civil violation for failing to yield from a private road, according to the report. The case is ongoing, and court details will be determined as the situation progresses. Traffic was impacted during the removal of the vehicles, with US Route 5 reduced to one lane.
