MORGAN, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont man has died in a late night crash, state police say.

Gary MeGrath, 59, of Morgan, was driving east on state Route 111 at about 10 p.m. Friday when he crossed into the other lane, veered off the roadway and struck a tree.

MeGrath was trapped inside his SUV and Derby Line Fire Department members removed him from the vehicle, state police said.



The vehicle was totaled, according to authorities.

MeGrath was taken to North Country Hospital in Newport where he was pronunced dead.
