On April 11 at 2:41 pm the Vermont State Police (VSP) were notified of an ATV crash involving 2 ATV’s. 911 advised that a 4 year old was involved. VSP arrived on scene after AmCare transported the child.

Investigation revealed that Dillon Stanhope, 26 years old, was using the motocross track on his ATV. He was alone on the track. The 4 year old was advised to stay on the grass and not on the track. At some point, the child entered onto the track and started to travel up an incline as Stanhope was traveling in the opposite direction. There was no line of sight or visibility for Stanhope until he travelled over the crest of the hill. The 2 ATV’s crashed head on with one another.

The 4 year old was transported to Northwest Medical Center then to UVM Medical Center.
