CAMBRIDGE — A tractor trailer became stuck in “the notch” on Route 108 South in Cambridge Monday, closing the road for approximately three hours.
Troopers responded to the scene at 11:10 a.m. on May 19.
Investigation revealed the operator, Musa Boima, 36, of Laurel, Maryland, was traveling from Waterbury to Enosburg when he disregarded several signs prohibiting tractor trailers and drove around chicanes installed at the entrance to the notch road.
Boima claimed he saw a sign telling him he could drive through.
Polar Bear Towing and Recovery assisted with extracting the tractor trailer from the notch.
Boima was issued a civil traffic ticket for a violation of Title 23 VSA 1038 “driving on lanes for traffic.”
Per Vermont law, the company Boima works for was issued a ticket for Title 23 VSA 1006(b) “tractor trailer in the notch,” which carries a fine of $2,347.00.
State Police were assisted by an investigator with the Department of Motor Vehicles, Stowe Police, and VTRANS officials.
