ARLINGTON — An 85-year-old Arlington man died Thursday after his vehicle struck a tree on Maple Hill Road.
Raymond Ostrander was traveling northbound in a 2023 Nissan Altima when his vehicle left the roadway for unknown reasons and collided with a tree at approximately 2:54 p.m., according to Vermont State Police.
Troopers from the Shaftsbury barracks responded to the single-vehicle crash and found Ostrander entrapped in the vehicle and unresponsive.

The crash occurred near 922 Maple Hill Road under partly cloudy skies on a dirt roadway.
The incident remains under investigation, and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Corporal Hess at the Shaftsbury barracks.
