BENNINGTON, VT — An electric bicycle operator was transported to a hospital after colliding with a Vermont State Police cruiser on South Street on Tuesday.
The crash occurred at 12:53 p.m. near Weeks Street when Trooper Craig Negrin, 23, of Shaftsbury, was traveling northbound in his marked police cruiser.
