Vermont State Police say a 17-year-old resident of Colchester was cited for a motor vehicle crash that occurred on June 14, 2026, at approximately 7:01 a.m. on US Route 7 in St. Albans. The incident took place near Beebe Road, where the juvenile’s 2011 Toyota Corolla rear-ended a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado operated by 48-year-old Shaleigh Gratton of St. Albans.
According to police reports, the collision resulted in minor injuries to the juvenile driver, who was subsequently transported to Northwestern Medical Center for evaluation. Gratton, who was wearing her seatbelt, did not sustain any injuries and was not transported to a hospital. The weather was clear, and road conditions were dry at the time of the accident.
The charges against the juvenile are allegations, and further legal proceedings will determine the outcome. Court dates and charges may change as the case progresses.
