SUMMARY OF CRASH:  On 3/21/24 at approximately 09:46 AM, Vermont State Police responded to a head on collision on RT 105 near the intersection of Machia Rd. in the town of Sheldon. 

 

The investigation has revealed that Vehicle 1, a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe operated by Amy Dallier, was traveling eastbound on RT 105.  Dallier failed to negotiate a curve on RT 105 by the intersection with Machia Rd due to falling asleep, crossed into the westbound lane of RT 105 and collided with Vehicle 2, which was a 2004 Nissan Frontier operated by J Brian Whitehouse. 

 

Both operators were transported to Northwest Medical Center, along with the passenger of Vehicle 2, Charlene Whitehouse (age 59), for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. 

 

Impairment has not been found to be a contributing factor in this crash.  RT 105 was closed for about 1 hour until the vehicles were removed from the roadway.
