THETFORD — A Groton, Vt., man sustained serious injuries after he rear-ended his pick-up truck into a plow truck on Interstate-91 in Thetford Wednesday morning.

Ronin Moulton, 20, totaled his 2009 Ford F150 when he collided with a 2017 International Plow Truck driven by a Vermont Agency of Transportation employee, according to a news release from Vermont State Police. Moulton was transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon with serious, non-life threatening injuries.

The plow truck’s driver and passenger, another AOT employee were not injured in the crash, according to police. The plow truck had “moderate rear damage.”

The crash remains under investigation by troopers stationed at the St. Johnsbury Barracks.

Both lanes of Interstate 91 near Exit 14 were closed for around two hours will Vermont State Police, Thetford Fire Department, Upper Valley Ambulance and the Vermont Agency of Transportation responded to the scene.

Troopers also issued a “Vermont Civil Violation Complaint,” also known as a VCVC to a “passing motorist who was recording the crash scene on their phone while passing the scene,” according to the release. “Motorists are reminded to slow down and to not use portable electronic devices when approaching stopped emergency vehicles.”

Early Thursday morning the National Weather Service’s Burlington office issued a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” alert for multiple Vermont counties, including Windsor.

“A short period of widespread snow this morning will cause some areas of slippery
travel,” according to the alert. “This snow will be followed by scattered snow showers and
possible snow squalls that could impact the evening commute.”
