According to police reports, a single-vehicle crash on I-89 South in Williston occurred on December 29, 2025, around 8:31 a.m. A 24-year-old South Burlington resident, Franklin Asamoah, was driving a 2016 Nissan Sentra when he lost control due to excessive speed for the icy and slushy road conditions.
The Vermont State Police say Asamoah’s vehicle left the roadway and rolled over. Fortunately, he was not injured in the incident. Following the investigation, Asamoah was issued a Vermont Civil Violation Complaint for operating without a license, which carries a waiver penalty of $162 and two points on his driving record.
Emergency crews, including the Williston Fire Department and Anytime Towing, assisted at the scene. Traffic on the interstate was reduced to one lane for about an hour while the area was cleared.
As these charges are allegations, Asamoah’s next legal steps will be determined as the case progresses. Court dates and specific charges may be subject to change.
