CHARLOTTE Ñ On Jan. 20, at approximately 6 p.m., troopers from the Vermont State Police responded to a three vehicle collision on U.S. Route 7 at the intersection with Church Hill Road in Charlotte. While in route, troopers were advised of a second crash, involving two vehicles north of the initially reported crash scene. Once on scene, troopers determined that vehicle 1, driven by Malcom Francis, of North Ferrisburgh, and vehicle 2 driven by Robert L. Danyow of Charlotte were traveling southbound on Route 7. Upon approaching the intersection with Church Hill Road, Danyow, in the lead vehicle, slowed and eventually came to a stop in an effort to let northbound traffic, a tractortrailer rig, vehicle 3, driven by Drew A Nutting of New Hampshire, pass before making a left turn. Vehicle 1 rear-ended vehicle 2 and then veered off the western side of the road. Vehicle 2 was then propelled into the path of vehicle 3 (in the northbound passing lane). Vehicle 3Õ s truck-trailer tires collided with the front end of vehicle 2 causing vehicle 2 to spin back into the southbound lane of travel where it came to rest. Vehicle 3 came to a stop just north of the collision scene. Occupants from vehicles 1 and 2 were subsequently transported to the University of Vermont Medical Center for injuries resulting from the crash. Troopers were later advised that all occupants were released from the hospital and that the most serious injury was to operator 1, with a broken collar bone. Operator 3 was uninjured CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
