Wet conditions cause rollover crash on 1-91

On Sunday, June 28, at 2:36 p.m., Troopers from the Royalton Barracks along with Hartford Fire responded to a single vehicle rollover crash on Interstate 91-North in the town of Hartford.

The operator was identified as Natausha Smallwood, 22, from Hartland, who sustained non-life threatening injuries from the crash.

Investigation revealed that Smallwood was traveling north on I-91 in a 2019 Dodge Ram pickup. After Smallwood passed Exit 11, she failed to navigate a turn in the roadway. The vehicle traveled off the road and then rolled over.

At the time of the crash, the roadway was wet and thunderstorms were reportedly rolling through the area.

Police suspect speed along with the wet road conditions contributed to the incident.

Smallwood’s Dodge Ram pickup was deemed a total loss.

Smallwood, who had been wearing her seatbelt, was transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center to be evaluated for non-life threatening injuries.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Kelsey Knapp at 802-234-9933.
