Middlebury Police Log: Medical condition causes accident

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police responded on Jan. 14 to a single-vehicle crash, with minor injuries, on Court Street, near its intersection with Creek Road.
Police said a man experienced a seizure while driving south on Court Street at a quarter past 7 a.m. He veered off the roadway, across the sidewalk and across the lawn behind Middlebury Pediatric Dentistry, according to police. He crossed South Village Green, hitting street signs, passing over the westbound lane, the grass median and the eastbound lane, police said. The vehicle continued across some grass behind People’s Bank, clipping an LP gas tank post and then hitting a tree adjacent to 30 South Village Green, police said.
