Authorities say single-car crash has killed one

Police identify victim of fatal crash on I-89 in Milton

Vermont State Police are investigating a crash that killed one man on I-89 in Milton on Wednesday. Authorities said a truck driven by David Lawrence, 54, was traveling southbound when it entered the median, striking a ledge and trees. The vehicle then rolled across the road before coming to a rest on its passenger side, throwing the truck's engine block into another lane of traffic, according to investigators. Police said they found Lawrence deceased in the truck when they arrived on the scene. Both lanes of I-89 south were closed while state police investigators combed over the scene and crews cleared the wreck. The crash happened around the same time that strong rainstorms rolled through the area. Investigators said it is unclear if the weather was a factor in the crash. Police said Lawrence was not wearing a seat belt. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to contact the state police.
