Man killed in ATV crash

A 38-year-old man from Corinth was killed Sunday evening in an ATV rollover crash on Turkey Hill Road, according to the Vermont State Police.

Troopers from the St. Johnsbury Barracks responded to the scene at about 5:42 p.m. near the intersection of Turkey Hill Road and Goose Green Road. Police identified the victim as Lorin Burt, 38, of Corinth.

Preliminary investigation indicates Burt was traveling southwest on Turkey Hill Road when he made an abrupt turn on a wet gravel surface, causing the ATV — a 2026 Polaris Sportsman — to overturn. Burt was ejected from the vehicle.

Emergency crews attempted lifesaving measures, but Burt was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The crash remains under investigation.
