A single-vehicle crash on I-89 in South Burlington has caused the deaths of two people from Vermont.
The incident took place just after 6 Saturday morning, closing down the highway for some hours.
A 32-year-old Theodore Bowen of Essex Junction was driving north when his car struck a guardrail, veered into the median, rolled, and crashed into a tree, according to police. His passenger, 45-year-old Mechelle Martin of Colchester, also died at the scene.
This crash is being investigated. Police say it’s too early to tell if speed or impairment played a role.
