WINDSOR – A head-on crash in the late morning of June 29 on Route 5 just above the Windsor Country Club sent two Hartland residents to area hospitals and shut down the highway for over an hour.
The impact between a black wagon and a white utility pickup truck belonging to the Dead River fuel company occurred around 11 a.m. near the entrance to Taylor Road which is opposite Blanchard’s Construction.
On Tuesday, Windsor Police Sgt. Jonathan Adams said
this week that while he has not yet had a chance to interview both drivers, his preliminary investigation at the scene indicates that the black car driven by Sherrill Rafferty, 72, crossed the center line into the southbound lane where it struck the truck driven by John Postans, 53.
Rafferty was transported by Windsor Ambulance to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center for treatment of a compound fracture to her leg while another Windsor Ambulance took Postans to Mount Ascutney Hospital to check him over for possible neck injuries, Adams said.
Both vehicles were destroyed by the collision.
