SUMMARY OF CRASH: 

              On 09/28/2022 at approximately 1253 hours, Troopers with the VT State Police responded to the S-Curves on Old Stage Rd near Ballard Rd in the town of Georgia for a one-vehicle rollover crash. The operator, identified as Nicholas Preston (Age 23 of Georgia), was navigating the S-Curves on Old Stage Rd when his vehicle began to spin and hydroplane due to a mixture of having bald tires, as well as them  being studded winter tires. Preston lost control of the vehicle, where it ultimately rolled into the brush off the northbound lane of travel’s shoulder. Preston was able to exit the vehicle, and was seen by medical staff that arrived on scene. Preston was transported to Northwest Medical Center to be seen for minor injuries. Subsequent investigation revealed that Preston was operating with a criminally suspended license. He was issued a citation to appear in Franklin County Superior Court on 11/14/2022 at 0830 hours to answer for the charge.
