SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On May 30th, 2021 at approximately 1449 hours Troopers with VSP Williston were

notified of a two vehicle crash on I-89 Northbound in the area of Mile Marker

102 in the town of Milton.

 

Responding Troopers met with the operators of both vehicles. Through

investigation and statements made by both operators, it was learned that Taylor

Raymond (age 28) of Franklin, VT operated his motorcycle at an extremely high

rate of speed and lost control, rear ending a vehicle operated by Kathleen

Beckham (age 60) of Alburg, VT.

 

Further investigation revealed that Raymond was under court ordered conditions

of release from a prior arrest that forbade him from operating a motor vehicle

without a valid license. Raymond's license was expired at the time of the crash.

 

 

Raymond received several suspected broken bones as a result of the crash and was

transported to UVMMC for medical treatment. Beckham was not injured as a result

of the crash and was able to leave the scene in her vehicle.

 

On June 5th, 2021 Raymond responded to VSP St. Albans where he was issued a

criminal citation to appear before Chittenden County Superior Court at a later

date and time to answer to the charges of Grossly Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle and Violation of Conditions of Release.
