WINDSOR — Vermont State Police say there’s been a series of five vehicle crashes on an icy Interstate 91 in Windsor.
Police said the accidents happened early Wednesday on the northbound side. The interstate has re-opened; it was closed for several hours between exits 8 and 9.
Police said the first driver lost control of his vehicle and struck a guardrail. The second driver spun out and struck a guardrail while approaching the scene. A tractor trailer lost control and struck the second vehicle, which was pushed into a fire department truck. A firefighter was injured while escaping from the crash.
A fourth vehicle was passing by when it was struck from behind by a fifth vehicle.
Two of the drivers were suffering minor injuries and were taken to a hospital.

From the State Police:

Troopers from the Williston barracks are responding to a multiple car crash on the southbound lane of Interstate 89 on the  “Bolton Flats” which is about mile marker 70.  At this point, the crash is still being assessed, but it is creating substantial delays and backed-up traffic.  We ask that people be patient, as we work to clear the roadway as quickly & as safely as possible.

Additionally, the snowy conditions have made for difficult driving conditions throughout Vermont, and motorists are reminded to slow down, leave plenty of space between vehicles, and avoid unnecessary travel.

A full press release on the crash will be issued when details are available.
