RICHMOND — A head-on collision on US Route 2 near Cochran Road left two vehicles totaled and drivers injured on Feb. 23.
Vermont State Police responded to the scene around 8:26 p.m. where they found a 2010 Toyota Rav4 driven by 31-year-old Dennis MacDonald of Bakersfield and a 2020 Toyota 4Runner operated by 49-year-old Rebecca Duke of Brownsville.
Initial investigations indicated that MacDonald, who was not wearing a seatbelt, veered into oncoming traffic and collided with Duke’s southbound vehicle.
MacDonald suffered head and leg injuries, while Duke sustained minor injuries; both were wearing seat belts at the time of the incident.
