On 09-24-21, at approximately 0545 State Police were called to the Town of Richmond for a single vehicle crash located on River Road, Richmond.  Assisting agencies included the Williston Police Department, Richmond Fire Department, and the Underhill/Jericho Fire Department.

 

Upon arrival it was learned that the operator (Pearce) was traveling south on River Road, Richmond during a heavy rain storm when his vehicle began to hydroplane. Pearce was unable to maintain control of his vehicle, which left the roadway subsequently colliding with a utility pole. 

 

The utility pole and wires covered River Road, which had to be closed to traffic for several hours.

 

There were no injuries.
