SUMMARY OF INCIDENT: On December 5, 2023, at approximately 1555 hours, a trooper came upon two vehicles stopped in the left passing lane of Interstate 89 South near mile marker 79.8. Shortly after the trooper arrived on scene, one vehicle departed and continued traveling south. The vehicle was later located in Bolton on Interstate 89, at which point a motor vehicle stop was conducted and the operator was identified as Robert Stone (47) of Barre, VT.

 

Investigation into this incident revealed Stone was traveling south on Interstate 89 south when he observed a bumper in the left passing lane. Stone braked in an effort to avoid striking the bumper, at which point he was rear-ended by another vehicle which was driven by Kristopher Mohlman (45) of Montpelier, VT. Stone was issued a criminal citation to appear before the Chittenden County Superior Court Criminal Division at a later date to answer the charge of "crashes; duty to stop."
