GoFundMe for Former Colebrook Coach Buddy Trask Tops $31,000 After Hit-and-Run

NORTH COUNTRY — A GoFundMe campaign for former Colebrook boys basketball coach Buddy Trask has raised more than $31,000 since launching late last week, as community members rally to support him and his family following a serious hit-and-run crash in Canaan, Vermont. Trask was released from the intensive care unit at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, late Monday and moved into a shared room, according to an Oct. 27 update shared by Littleton Chevrolet. His family is hoping he can move to a private room soon. Trask, 71, was struck about 1:15 p.m. Oct. 12 while standing beside a guardrail along Vermont Route 114 near Wallace Pond, according to the Essex County Sheriff’s Department. He was flown by DHART to the hospital for treatment.
