ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police said they may issue a traffic ticket in the case of a pickup truck driven by an 81-year-old Shoreham woman crashing into a car driven by a 17-year-old Vergennes youth on Route 7 on Oct. 19
At a little after noon on last Friday troopers went to the scene of the crash in Waltham. State police report that the 17-year-old stopped on South Middlebrook Road waiting to cross the intersection, and then eased his 2001 Subaru Legacy across Route 7 when his car was hit by the 2001 Dodge truck travelling southbound.
