SUMMARY OF CRASH:

On 01/08/21 at approximately 1757 hours, Troopers responded to a single car vs. single ATV crash in the intersection of S 116 Rd and Notch Rd in the Town of Bristol. Preliminary investigation indicates Erica Emilio (38) of Middlebury, VT was traveling south on S 116 Road. At that time, an unregistered ATV occupied by two juveniles was traveling south at a slow speed ahead of Emilio. The ATV was not properly equipped with working lights, making it impossible for Emilio to avoid it in time.

The passenger of the ATV was transported to Porter Hospital to be treated for head lacerations and a possible concussion. No other injuries were sustained.

Troopers were assisted on scene by the Bristol Police Department, Middlebury Police Department, Bristol Fire and Bristol Rescue Squad.
