Vermont State Police from the Westminster Barracks were called to the scene at about 1:41 p.m. after reports of the accident.

According to their investigation, Jacob M. Matyas, 24, from West Townshend, was driving a 2018 Chevrolet truck when he crossed into the opposing lane and collided with a 2021 Ford truck driven by Thomas A. Bloom, 55, from Brookline.

Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash and neither required hospitalization.

The road was temporarily closed for vehicle recovery operations.
