Vt. State Police Log: Tractor trailer truck overturned in Waltham
CORRECTION: An item in the Vermont State Police Log in the May 17 edition of the Addison Independentmixed up the participants in a May 7 traffic accident on Route 17 in West Addison. A subsequent interview with Trooper Justin Busby revealed that Jeffery Freegard, 29 of Vergennes was driving a newer Fort Taurus sedan on Route 17 to a job at a farm in West Addison that day when he turned in front of a Chevy van driven by Jessica Cheney, 18, of Ticonderoga, N.Y.
Cheney and a juvenile male passenger were injured and transported by ambulance to Porter Hospital. The van sustained massive front-end damage — the frame buckled and engine block was pushed in. It was declared a total loss.
Freegard was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care complaining of back pain.
Busby said Freeguard was at fault in the crash and was mailed two traffic tickets — one for failing to yield when turning left and the other for driving on a roadway across the lane.
We regret the errors in our first report.
