Newbury, VT - On March 23, 2026, at 1:56 PM, Wells River Fire was dispatched to the scene of a tractor-trailer accident, alongside Vermont State Police and Woodsville Ambulance.
The driver was evaluated by emergency medical personnel at the scene and was released without any reported injuries. The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles also responded due to the involvement of a commercial vehicle.
Emergency crews remained on site to manage debris removal and provide traffic control, ensuring a safe environment for law enforcement to carry out their investigation. At approximately 4:15 PM, the tractor-trailer was successfully removed, and all fire and law enforcement units subsequently cleared the scene.
