When another tractor-trailer was stuck in Smugglers Notch yesterday, the Spanish-speaking Denver, Colorado driver pleaded an inability to read English traffic signs, state police say.
At about 5 pm, police found the tractor trailer in the Notch partially off the roadway. The operator of the truck was identified as Ramiro Suarez Cadena, 49, of Denver. Cadena told troopers that he was unable to read or understand the English language, so he did not heed the multiple signs prior to entering the Notch.
Cadena was issued multiple tickets for entering the Notch and blocking traffic. The Vermont State Police was assisted by the Stowe Police Department.
