VERGENNES — Vergennes police, firefighters and the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad on March 26 to a fatal workplace accident on Meigs Road in Vergennes.

Police according to their weekly incident report said they responded at 5:24 p.m. to Feed Commodities at 70 Meigs Road to a report of a worker trapped under a 1,000-pound feed bag. According to the police narrative, they assisted firefighters in administering CPR to the victim, who was identified as Tierney Provoncha, 20, a well-liked Waltham resident and former Bristol resident. But VARS EMTs pronounced her dead 14 minutes later.

According to the police department’s written report, an investigation determined that earlier in the afternoon Provoncha had been operating a forklift when she noticed a torn feed bag. She got off the forklift and was trying to fix the torn bag when a huge bag fell on her, “pinning her to the floor.”
