A 48-year-old man from Enosburg was killed in a car crash involving a cow in Sheldon Sunday night.
Authorities were notified that a vehicle hit a cow on Route 105 at around 10:50 p.m. Responding troopers were told that there was a nurse on the scene and that the driver of the vehicle was deceased.
The Rte. 105 traffic death was at least the 10th on Rte. 105 since January 2021 and at least the second to involve a collision with a farm animal or vehicle in the east-west corridor in agriculture-heavy Franklin County.
The vehicle involved was a 2000 Jaguar Type S sedan. The driver was identified as Jason St Pierre, 48, and his passenger as Cody Sheperd, 30.
EMS attempted CPR on St Pierre at the scene, but say he died from injuries sustained in the crash. At this time, police say speed was a major factor in the crash. It was reported that the vehicle had been traveling over 100 miles-per-hour at the time of the crash.
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call 802-524-5993. Police are still investigating the crash, including information relating to the owner of the cow. Republished in part from Newport Dispatch
