SWANTON — A 68-year-old Alburgh man and his passenger were hospitalized Thursday after their pickup truck hydroplaned and rolled over in the median of Interstate 89 during rainy conditions.
Albert Roberge was driving a 2019 GMC Sierra northbound near mile marker 117 around 12:24 p.m. when the vehicle hydroplaned on the wet roadway, according to Vermont State Police.
The truck entered the median and rolled over, coming to rest closer to the southbound lane.
Roberge sustained suspected non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Northwestern Medical Center.
His passenger, 73-year-old Leo Roberge of St. Albans City, also suffered suspected non-life threatening injuries and was taken to the same hospital.
Both men were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
The vehicle was totaled and removed from the scene.
The southbound lane was temporarily closed during the response but has since reopened.
St. Albans Town Fire Department, Missisquoi Valley Rescue and Fairfax Rescue assisted state police at the scene.
