MIDDLESEX, Vt. (AP) - Vermont State Police say a driver crashed into a construction truck on Interstate 89, seriously injuring a construction worker.
Police say the crash happened in Middlesex around 5:30 a.m. Thursday.
Police say 39-year-old Basile Baily, of Morrisville, was driving south when he struck the truck. It was pushed into 37-year-old Kristy Cote, of Sutton.
Cote became pinned between the truck and the guardrail and suffered a serious leg injury. Police say Baily suffered broken bones in his spine, head and torso.
Both Baily and Cote have been hospitalized for their injuries.
The crash caused significant delays during morning rush hour, and police handed out multiple tickets to people using their cellphones while driving past the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
