The incident occurred recently, and fortunately, no children were aboard the bus at the time. The driver is currently being assessed for minor injuries.
Recovery vehicles are on-site to facilitate the bus’s removal, and according to police, the closure is expected to be short-term. Inspectors from the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles are investigating the crash, but specific details regarding the cause have not yet been released. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes while the area remains impassable.
As winter conditions persist in the region, police urge drivers to limit travel unless necessary. Those who must drive should exercise caution by reducing speed and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles. Updates on the situation will be provided as more information becomes available.
The charges stemming from this incident are still under investigation, and any legal proceedings will be determined as the case develops.
