KILLINGTON - A 63-year-old woman was
killed in a truck crash Wednesday afternoon in Killington, town police said.
Detra Coltey Mailhiot of Rochester
was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center following the 12:20 p.m.
single-vehicle wreck, police Sgt. James Riehl said in a statement
Wednesday night.
The crash happened when a 2007
Toyota Tacoma driven by Joseph L Mailhiot, 40, of Rochester went off
Vermont 100 while headed north near Stage Road and struck trees, Riehl
said.
The weather was clear and the road,
dry.
Emergency crews freed Detra Mailhiot
from the vehicle and brought her to the hospital, but she died there due to her
injuries, Riehl said.
Joseph Mailhiot received minor
injuries.
Speed and alcohol were not believed
to be factors in the crash, police said. An investigation into the cause was
continuing Wednesday night.
Riehl asked that anyone with
information about the wreck call Killington police at 802-422-3200.
The Killington Police Department was
assisted by the Vermont State Police, Rutland County Sheriff’s Department,
Killington Fire Department, Killington First Response, Regional Ambulance and
DHART.
The crash
brings the death toll on Vermont's roads to at least 51 so far this year, the
highest total through early October since 2012, according to Vermont State Police data.
