ADDISON COUNTY — On May 24, after the deadline for the last print edition of the Independent, Vermont State Police identified the driver who was killed in a May 19 crash in Ferrisburgh. Police reported that Katherine Looby, 36, of Waltham was killed when the Subaru she was driving on Route 7 near Dakin Farm in Ferrisburgh at around 12:12 a.m. crossed the centerline and crashed head-on into a tractor-trailer. The truck driver was not reported hurt, but a fire destroyed both vehicles. 

A longer report, though without the name of the deceased driver, appeared in last week’s newspaper and online at addisonindependent.com.
