Drivers urged to steer clear of I-89 South near Bolton following Wednesday crash
The Vermont State Police are currently investigating a multi-vehicle collision that caused the closure of I-89 south from Richmond to Bolton for multiple hours on Wednesday evening. The crash, which occurred around 5:40 p.m., involved a wrong-way driver, a tractor-trailer unit, and other vehicles, resulting in at least one fatality. The southbound traffic on the interstate was diverted at Exit 11 in Richmond, leading to significant delays and forcing drivers to find alternative routes.

Witnesses like Desmond Carrico and Gordon Dimick, a truck driver for Gunrunner Trucking, described the scene on the interstate as traffic came to a standstill. The news of the fatal crash deeply affected those stranded on the road, with Dimick sharing a personal connection to the situation through his own past experiences. Vermont State Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident, and updates on the matter will be provided as the story unfolds.
