SHEFFIELD — Vermont State Police responded to a single vehicle rollover on Vermont Route 122 near the Glover town line at 4:29 p.m. July 2.

The operator was identified as Barbara Lynch, 59, of North Hero.

Lynch told police she had just purchased the 1994 Ford camper and was driving it back to North Hero when the crash occurred.

Lynch reported that while traveling down a hill that turns left, the brakes on the camper failed.

The brake failure caused her to drive off the roadway, roll the camper onto its side and hit a tree, which dislodged the body of the camper from the frame.

Lynch was able to exit the camper without injury with assistance from passersby.

The camper was totaled and is expected to be removed by the new owners.

Weather conditions were clear and road conditions were dry at the time of the crash.
