Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle crash occurred on April 12, 2026, at approximately 8:33 a.m. on Waterbury Stowe Road in Waterbury. The incident involved 17-year-old Graeme Jostrand of Stowe, who was driving a 2014 Volvo XC when he reportedly lost control and veered off the road.
According to police, Jostrand exited the southbound shoulder, colliding with a utility pole’s guidewire and a tree. The vehicle sustained extensive front-end and undercarriage damage, rendering it totaled, though no injuries were reported. Emergency responders from the Waterbury Fire Department and Green Mountain Power assisted at the scene. The crash caused significant travel delays, reducing the roadway to one lane as repairs were made.
Jostrand has been charged with operating a vehicle in a manner that caused property damage. The allegations will be addressed in court; however, the specific court date has not yet been determined. As the case develops, charges and court information may change.
