SUMMARY OF CRASH:

On 10/19/21 at approximately 2029 hours, Troopers responded to a report of a two-car crash on US Route 7 near the intersection with Pomainville Drive in the Town of Salisbury. One of the vehicles was reported to be on fire. This section of US Route 7 was closed to traffic while firefighters extinguished the fire.

The operator of the Volkswagen was identified as Ervina Iseric (30) of Essex Junction, VT. While speaking with Iseric, Troopers detected indicators of impairment. Iseric was transported by ambulance to Porter Medical Center for suspected minor injuries. Troopers later met with Iseric at the hospital, where she consented to provide a sample of her blood.

Initial investigation indicates Iseric was traveling south on US Route 7 at a high rate of speed while the Chevy was southbound ahead of her. Iseric then struck the rear end of the Chevy, causing it to leave the roadway and overturn. Iseric's vehicle also left the roadway and caught fire. No occupants of the Chevy were injured.

Iseric was released to hospital staff after being issued a citation to appear in Addison County Superior Court, Criminal Division at a later date.
