LANDGROVE — Two logging trucks crashed in Landgrove early Thursday morning.
Police responded to the area of Landgrove Hollow Road and Vermont Route 11, for a report of a tractor-trailer crash at around 4:05 a.m.
A tractor-trailer had lost its load, scattering lumber across the road.
While troopers were en route, a second tractor-trailer, reported to be a log truck, lost control in the same area as the truck carrying lumber and collided with a telephone pole, downing power lines in the process.
Police say the log truck continued on and did not stop at the scene.
The log truck and the driver have yet to be identified.
The driver of the tractor-trailer hauling lumber was extricated from the cab and transported to the Springfield Hospital for medical attention.
Police say the road in the area of the crashes was ice-covered, causing hazardous conditions, and was a major factor in this incident.
Vermont Route 11 was closed for several hours during the removal of the wrecked tractor-trailer, and removal of the lumber from the road.
Police say the crash is still considered under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Justin Walker of the Shaftsbury Field Station at 802-442-5421.
