Vermont Vehicle Roll-Over
Pownal, Vt. - An 18-year-old Middle Pownal Road resident was taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington, Vt. following an early morning May 21 roll-over crash along Route 7.
Sarah Darling was driving a 1995 maroon Ford Taurus northbound and had passed the Pownal View Barn when the vehicle left the road, struck and flattened two road signs, and rolled over onto its' roof before coming to a stop.
The accident was reported at about 4:44 a.m., said Pownal Valley Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Chief Joel Howard.
When firefighters arrived at the accident scene about four minutes later, they found the overturned vehicle was unattended.
Firefighters were preparing to search for vehicle occupants when Darling returned to the scene. Firefighters believe that Darling exited the vehicle and left the car to seek assistance. She was walking and talking as she approached the emergency responders at the scene and reported that she had been alone in the vehicle when it crashed, Howard said.
Members of the Bennington Police Department assisted at the crash scene. The Vermont State Police launched an investigation into the crash and were observed at the scene during mid-morning May 21.
The vehicle sustained significant damage and was towed from the roadside.
Darling was taken to SVMC by the Pownal Rescue Squad.
An investigation into the accident was continuing as of May 22. A decision about whether charges will be filed is expected at the conclusion of the investigation, according to Vermont state police. |
