At around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday near 2963 Vermont Route 58 in Irasburg, Vermont State Police responded to a report of a single vehicle crash.
Charles Jokinen, 16, of Brownington, was driving a 2001 Ford Ranger on Route 58. He told police that just before the crash, an oncoming vehicle was traveling partially in his lane. Jokinen was forced to swerve to avoid contact with the oncoming vehicle.
Jokinen stated that once swerving into the shoulder of the road, he was unable to make the corner and traveled off of the road. His vehicle rolled over as a result.
