Ludlow man killed in head-on collision in Vermont

SEARSBURG, VT. (WWLP) - A man from Ludlow was killed in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday morning in southern Vermont.

Investigators said 53-year-old Alan Vautrain of Ludlow was driving east when his vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane.

The crash remains under investigation.
