ADDISON COUNTY — A bad crash in Addison early Sunday morning sent three people to the hospital — one with serious injuries.
On Sunday, March 27, at approximately 2:41 a.m. Vermont 911 received a report of a motor vehicle crash with injuries at the Jersey Street South and Route 17 intersection in Addison.
 Vermont State Police, Addison Volunteer Fire Department, Middlebury Regional EMS and Bristol Rescue Squad personnel responded to the scene. Upon arrival, responders observed a 2006 Chevrolet truck off the roadway, in a tree line, adjacent to a field. The truck had sustained significant front-end damage.
 The state police trooper said his preliminary investigation indicated that 21-year-old DJ Herriman of Brandon was driving the truck northbound on Jersey Street South when it crossed over Route 17, left the roadway and smashed into a line of trees. The weather was clear and the road was dry.
Herriman, who was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt, sustained serious internal injuries. First responders extricated the driver from the vehicle and transported him to the University of Vermont Medical Center. Herriman’s two passengers were transported to Porter Hospital in Middlebury, where they were treated and released.
On Tuesday afternoon, UVM Medical Center reported that Herriman was in “fair” condition, which is between “good” and “serious,” and is described as, “vital signs are stable and within normal limits; patient is conscious, but may be uncomfortable; indicators are favorable.”
State police said the crash was still under investigation, but they determined that speed, alcohol and seatbelt usage were contributing factors in this crash.
In other recent activity, state police troopers:
