A New Hampshire man is dead after the trailer he was pulling behind his pickup truck went off the road, state police say.
Thursday at 4:42 AM, the Vermont State Police, Brighton Fire Department, and Groveton EMS responded to a fatal single vehicle crash on VT RT 105 near Notch Pond Road in the Northeast Kingdom town of Brunswick.

Not wearing a seat belt is a potentially deadly decision & many drivers just don’t seem to understand the laws of physics when driving a motor vehicle ESPECIALLY on a curving roadway or hauling a trailer. Slow way down……….that trailer is a disaster waiting to happen if you are not exceptionally careful.
A body in motion remains in motion. If you are not strapped in the drivers seat you may find yourself in the passenger seat as your vehicle goes about its merry way. It is very hard to regain control if you are not even in the drivers seat. G forces are a lot like moving water. They are stronger than you and they do not get tired.
