Essex, VT : Driver seriously injured in two-car crash closed Route 128 on Monday September 28 2015
A two-car crash closed Route 128 in Essex for hours Monday.
Police say at around 5 p.m., a garbage truck owned by Casella Waste Systems tipped over going around a curve. It was carrying
30 tons of material when it landed on a silver BMW, trapping the driver inside. Police say that person was taken to the
hospital with life-threatening injuries.
It took members of our department and Essex Junction about 45 minutes with the assistance of heavy wreckers from both
Tailhook Towing and Clark's Truck Center to pick the garbage truck up off the car so we could cut the roof off and extricate
the driver out of the car," said Chief Charles Cole, Essex Fire Department.
Authorities worked into the evening reconstructing the crash scene. No word yet if the truck driver will face charges.
