SUMMARY OF CRASH: On 07/07/2024, at approximately 2305 hours, the Vermont State Police responded to the intersection of VT RT 14 and VT RT 58 W. in the Town of Irasburg, VT for a single vehicle roll-over crash. Upon trooper’s arrival, the operator was identified as Dominick Brown, 21, of Orleans. Investigation of the crash determined Brown was traveling south on VT RT 14 and failed to negotiate a lefthand corner just south of the VT RT 58 W. intersection. The vehicle traveled off the roadway to the right in an uncontrolled manner and rolled before coming to rest back on its wheels. A juvenile passenger who was not wearing his seat belt was ejected from the car when it rolled.  

Brown and the juvenile passenger were both transported to North Country Hospital. Brown suffered minor injuries and the juvenile passenger suffered significant but non-life-threatening injuries.

Speed is a factor in the crash. Brown was issued a criminal citation for the offenses of Grossly Negligent Operation, Excessive Speed, and an alcohol offense - Furnishing to Minor/Enabling Consumption by Minor.
