Investigation into the crash determined that a line of vehicle traffic was traveling eastbound on US 4. From the line of vehicles, two vehicles attempted to pass/overtake the lead vehicle; (a 20' Box truck). A collision between the two vehicles caused the vehicles to lose control, and one of the vehicles to then crash into the lead vehicle; (a 20' Box truck). That second crash caused the lead vehicle to lose control, travel from the roadway, and overturn down a 15' embankment. The operator of the Box truck, Joseph Robert Terry, was found partially ejected and deceased. No other operators/passengers were injured.
Further investigation to follow. Anyone with information concerning the crash please contact Cpl Mark Busier at the VSP Rutland Barracks 802-773-9101
