ADDISON COUNTY — The Vermont State Police and rescue squads from several towns responded on Saturday afternoon when an SUV ran into a barn off Route 7 in New Haven in an accident that sent the driver to the hospital.
Troopers said Katherine T. Hone, 19, of Killington was driving a 2004 GMC Yukon southbound on Route 7 when the vehicle traveled across the northbound lane and off the east side of the roadway, where it collided with a large barn on the stretch north of the Town Hill Road intersection.
The Yukon came to rest inside the barn, where Hone was entrapped.
Multiple area agencies — including the New Haven, Bristol and Middlebury rescue and heavy rescue crews — responded to the scene to assist VSP.
Hone was transported to Fletcher Allen Health Care; on Tuesday afternoon she was listed in critical condition.
