BRIEF NARRATIVE:
On April 18, 2018 at approximately 1:32 PM South Burlington Police Department officers responded to the report of a motor vehicle crash in the area of Shunpike Road and Williston Road in South Burlington. Callers also reported one of the vehicles had rolled over and was on fire.
Upon arrival, officers located one vehicle on its side against a telephone pole on the corner of Shunpike Road and Williston Road. The pole was broken in half. Police on scene located the vehicle smoking and attempted to extinguish any fire that may have been present. Williston Road was closed from Gregory Drive to Kennedy Drive in both directions and Shunpike Road was closed entirely while police and South Burlington Fire Department personnel investigated and provided medical care for minor injuries to involved parties.
Preliminary investigation suggests that a vehicle entering the roadway from a business driveway and a vehicle
in transit on Williston Road collided, however investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
The South Burlington Police Department thanks the public for their patience during the crash investigation and
reminds all to be cautious when entering the roadway.
Williston Road and Shunpike Road are now open to traffic, however utility crews remain on scene with flaggers
while repairs to the utility pole are being completed.
