JAY — Vermont Agency of Transportation crews were busy at Jay Peak this morning during the snowstorm after vehicles were unable to make it up the hill.
At 8:48 a.m. police responded to a report of a vehicle crash on Vermont Route 242, in Westfield, the back side of Jay Peak.
There was one vehicle in the snow bank and 47 vehicles who were not able to make the hill to the resort and were blocking traffic.
Both sides of Route 242 were shut down for approximately one hour while the vehicles were turned around to wait at the bottom of the mountain until AOT was able to plow the roadway for traffic to flow.
At 11:14 a.m. the Vermont State Police were back in Jay after two tour buses got stuck trying to go up the mountain.
One of the tour buses ended up blocking both lanes of travel.
Route 242 was closed again for approximately one and a half hours.
