SUMMARY OF CRASH:

On 2/17/21 at approximately 0637 hours, VT State Police responded to US RT 7 in Charlotte, north of the Ferrisburgh town line for a motor vehicle crash.  Preliminary investigation indicates that Vehicle 1 was traveling on RT 7, lost control, crashed into another vehicle and rolled over.  A series of other collisions occurred as part of this incident.  A black Volkswagen with damage to front left fled the scene heading south. 

RT 7 was closed for approximately 2 hours.  Icy road conditions appear to be a contributing factor in this crash.  This crash is still under investigation.  Anyone with information regarding this incident, and/or the black Volkswagen that fled the scene is encouraged to contact Trooper Marchand at 802-878-7111.
