Vermont Crash Victims Identified on I-91

ROCKINGHAM, Vt. – Vermont State Police have identified the victims involved in a Saturday morning crash on Interstate 91 in Rockingham that left two people dead and two injured. Police say Taylor Binnington, 39, of North Haven, Connecticut, drove the Hyundai SUV that crashed into a fuel tanker truck. Crews pronounced him dead on the scene. Binnington’s wife, Evelyn Lake, 36, was a passenger in the rear seat. The couple’s 4-month-old son, Parry Lake, was life-flighted to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries. Police say emergency crews took Evelyn Lake and the couple’s 3-year-old son to DHMC for injuries that were not life-threatening. The investigation into the crash found that multiple northbound vehicles were involved in minor crashes and slide-offs due to deteriorated road conditions and low visibility in the snow. Police say the fuel tanker truck had stopped due to the crashes ahead, and the Hyundai was unable to stop in the slippery conditions and rear-ended the truck.
