Troopers responded to the report of a two vehicle crash on US Route 7 in

Charlotte at the intersection of Church Hill Road. Investigation at the scene

revealed that Op#1 (Boros) made a left turn in front of vh#1 and directly

encroached upon its path of travel. Op#1 was transported to UVMC by Charlotte

Rescue due to her injuries. Op#2 was screened by Shelburne Rescue at the scene

and released with minor injuries. Both operators were found to be valid in VT.

Neither speed nor impairment were contributing factors with this crash. Troopers

were assisted at the scene by Charlotte Fire and Rescue, as well as Shelburne

Rescue. Op#1 will be mailed a VT Civil Violation Complaint for vehicle turning

left (failing to yield), a violation of Title 23 VSA Section 1047. $220.00 and 2
