SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On the above date and time the Vermont State Police in Royalton responded to

calls for a single vehicle crash that was witnessed by the Windsor Police Chief.

Upon arrival at the scene the operator and vehicle were located in the median

just south of the Exit 12 ramp near the Bugbee Street exit.  Chief Frank and Officer

St. Peter from the Hartford Police Department were speaking with the operator.

During the conversation with Deford signs of impairment were apparent and

Officer St. Peter subsequently arrested Deford for suspected Driving Under the

Influence.  Chief Frank indicated she had witnessed the crash as Deford pulled

adjacent to her cruiser and lost control when he took a hand off the steering

wheel and made a gesture with his middle finger.  Chief Frank said Deford's

vehicle crashed into the median when he lost control.  Deford's vehicle had to

be towed from the scene due to damage it sustained after striking the south end

of the bridge curbing on the Bugbee Street overpass.  Deford was issued a civil

traffic ticket.
