DUMMERSTON, Vt. (AP) — Multiple people were injured in a series of crashes caused by a wrong-way driver on Interstate 91 in Dummerston, Vermont State Police said.
Police received a report of a southbound vehicle in the northbound lane at about 5:40 p.m. Sunday. A state trooper encountered the wrong-way driver and was sideswiped by the pickup truck. The trooper turned around to pursue the vehicle.
A short time later, the pickup truck collided head-on with a northbound van, causing the van to strike a third vehicle. Two other vehicles went off the road while taking evasive action.
The driver of the wrong-way vehicle and three occupants of the van were taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
The fourth occupant of the van was flown to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where the patient was reported to be in stable condition.
