SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On July 18, 2020, at approximately 0234 hours, Tony Boylan was traveling south on Lakewood Drive in Swanton, VT.  At that time Boylan’s vehicle

left the west side of the roadway. Boylan appeared to over correct  causing his vehicle to begin sliding in a counter clockwise rotation. The vehicle slid across Lakewood Drive and left the east side of the roadway.  After leaving the roadway the vehicle entered a ditch and struck several large rocks piled around a culvert. Boylan suffered fatal injuries as a result of this crash.  Alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt appear to be contributing factors in this crash.  The VSP investigation is ongoing.
