Upon arrival, the operator was being detained by an out of state officer about 100 yards from the crash site. Initial investigation determined Operator #1 who was identified as Trevor Cayia (34 years of age from South Burlington) was operating westbound on Kennedy Drive approaching the intersection of Hinesburg Road and was not slowing down. He impacted vehicles stopped at the intersection which created secondary crashes and injuries. Two individuals were transported to the emergency room for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
