Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle crash on I-91 in Westminster early on February 2, 2026, resulted in the hospitalization of a 45-year-old woman. The incident occurred around 6:14 AM near mile marker 27.2, where the vehicle, a 2003 Toyota Tundra operated by Autumn-Vixxxen McAuliffe of Brattleboro, sustained significant damage and was deemed totaled.
According to the report, McAuliffe was transported to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, where she exhibited signs of impairment. This prompted an investigation, leading police to allege that she was operating the vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Following the investigation, McAuliffe was charged with operating under the influence and issued a citation to appear in court.
Her court appearance is scheduled for April 14, 2026, at 8:30 AM in the Vermont Superior Court, Windham Criminal Division. The charges against McAuliffe are allegations at this stage, and the court date may be subject to change as the legal process continues.
