SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On 5/11/25 at approximately 1020 hours, Troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Hardscrabble Road and Putty Bed Place in the Town of Monkton. Investigation revealed V#2 was traveling south on Hardscrabble Road at a reasonable speed. At that time, V#1 turned onto Hardscrabble Road northbound from Putty Bed Place at a rapid speed and struck V#2 head-on.

 

V#1 was stolen from Burlington, VT the previous day, and the two occupants fled the scene before Troopers arrived. A K-9 search for the occupants yielded no results as witnesses believe they were picked up by someone driving an older-model white Chevy pickup truck.

 

Investigation into the identities of V#1's occupants is still ongoing. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to call the New Haven Barracks at 802-388-4919 or leave an anonymous tip using the link below.

 

Troopers were assisted on scene by the Middlebury Police Department, Bristol Rescue Squad and Monkton Fire Department.

 

UPDATE:

 

Thanks in part to several tips received from the public, the operator of V#1 was identified as Eugene Streeter (40) of Burlington, VT. Attempts to locate Streeter have been unsuccessful, and he has an active warrant for his arrest. Investigation into the identities of the remaining occupants is still ongoing.
