KILLINGTON – A man has died from injuries sustained in a three-vehicle crash in Killington in October.
In a statement released Monday, Vermont State Police said Michael Petralia, 79, of Sudbury,
died from injuries sustained in the Oct. 22 accident. Also in the
Monday statement, police said Petralia’s passenger, Aishia Fox, was in
stable condition at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
The accident remains under
investigation, and no further information was available this week from
Vermont State Police investigators. The crash occurred on Route 4 at the
intersection with East Mountain Road.
According to police, preliminary investigation determined that on Oct.
22, a westbound car driven by Nicole Auclair, 30, of Plymouth, collided
with the rear end of a car driven by Jacob Lyngdal, 20, of Orange,
Conn., causing Lyngdal’s vehicle to cross the centerline into the
eastbound lane. Lyngdal’s car collided with a motorcycle driven by
Petralia that was heading east, ejecting Petralia and Fox from the
motorcycle, according to preliminary investigation.
DHART responded to the scene and airlifted Petralia and Fox to DHMC, police said.
In the initial press release, police said Lyngdal’s passenger, Quentin
Lyngdal, 52, of Orange, Conn., sustained less serious injuries and was
transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center, treated and released.
The Killington Fire Department, Regional Ambulance Service, Manchester
Rescue Squad and Wallingford Rescue Squad all responded to the scene of
the crash.
Police are asking anyone with information about the crash to call 802-773-9101.
