BENNINGTON, Vt. (AP) - A deputy sheriff in Bennington County is facing a charge of driving too fast for the snowy road conditions when his patrol car went across the center line and hit another vehicle, Vermont State Police said Monday.

The crash happened Friday around 10 p.m. on Vermont Route 30 in Rupert. No one was injured. Both vehicles had significant damage, state police said.

An investigation determined that Deputy Sheriff Eaden Ryan, 23, was operating at an unreasonable and imprudent speed for the conditions and hazards, which directly contributed to the crash, state police said. A phone message was left for Ryan.
