WEST RUTLAND, VT — Vermont State Police are investigating a three-vehicle crash that occurred on US Route 4 near mile marker 13.2 on Nov. 28.
The crash was reported at approximately 8:11 a.m. during snowy weather with snow-covered road conditions.
Police said all three vehicles were traveling eastbound on US Route 4 when Bekka Ouellette, 31, of Benson, lost control of her 2017 Ford F-150 due to weather conditions.
Andrew Trimarchi, 19, of Albany, N.Y., who was traveling directly behind Ouellette in a 2019 Nissan Armada, was unable to stop or avoid a collision and side-swiped a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado operated by Bryce Taylor, 42, of Castleton, before crashing into Ouellette’s vehicle.
Trimarchi had two passengers in his vehicle: Lucca Forenzo, 19, of Schenectady, N.Y., and Charles Hug, 19, of Albany, N.Y.
All occupants were wearing seat belts.
Ouellette sustained minor injuries and was transported by Regional Ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center.
No other injuries were reported.
The Nissan Armada and Ford F-150 sustained significant front-end damage, while the Chevrolet Silverado sustained damage to the passenger-side doors.
Vermont State Police were assisted on scene by Regional Ambulance, West Rutland Fire Department and Riley’s Towing and Recovery.
