Two were
injured in a Massachusetts National Guard convoy crash in Vermont Thursday
morning.
Vermont
State Police say it happened just before 10 a.m. near Royalton on I-89.
The last
vehicle in the National Guard convoy of four vehicles was traveling south when
the driver, identified as 24-year-old Steven Weiss, braked as traffic slowed in
front of him, resulting in him losing control of the trailer behind the Humvee,
according to state police.
The Humvee
then struck the guard rails as the trailer rolled over, state police say.
I-89 was
down to one lane for several hours as Weiss and a passenger, 23-year-old Augustin
Boutella of Massachusetts, were taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center to
treat their non-life threatening injuries.
