SUMMARY OF CRASH: On 07/05/2026, at approximately 1622 hours, Troopers were notified of a two-vehicle crash on US Route 2 in the Town of Cabot. Investigation revealed that Glenn Towne (76) of Duxbury, VT was turning left in V#1 onto US Route 2 from the Marshfield Reservoir while Colby Tetreault (32) of Glover, VT was traveling east in V#2. V#1 failed to yield the right of way and entered US Route 2 in front of V#2. This caused V#2 to crash into the driver’s side of V#1. No injuries were reported by Towne and his passenger, while Tetreault was transported to CVMC for suspected serious injuries.

 

The Vermont State Police were assisted on scene by members of numerous first responding agencies and witnesses. US Route 2 was limited to one lane of travel for approximately one hour while the investigation was conducted.
