BURKE — A single-vehicle crash late Sunday night on Burke Hollow Road resulted in serious injuries for a Barton man.

At approximately 9:58 p.m., William C. Johnson, 21, lost control of his 2010 Nissan Titan, veering off the road and colliding with a tree.

Johnson suffered serious head injuries, Vermont State Police say.

Troopers say dry gravel road conditions and clear weather did not immediately appear to be factors in the incident, which still remains under investigation.

Emergency services transported Johnson to Northeast Vermont Regional Hospital.

Due to the severity of his injuries, he was later airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for further treatment.

The vehicle was reported as totaled, and no other injuries were reported.

Authorities are seeking assistance from the public for more information regarding the crash and urge anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact the Vermont State Police at 802-748-3111.
