DMV: Tractor-trailer from I-89 rollover was hauling recycled paper
BOLTON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Vermont's DMV has released new details about the June 2 tractor-trailer crash that closed I-89 to all northbound traffic.
Inspectors responded to the crash in Bolton at about 5:20 p.m. They say the commercial vehicle, a 2020 Volvo Truck Tractor, was traveling northbound when it left the roadway and crossed the median towards the southbound lane.
The vehicle then reportedly traveled 'a short distance', going north in the southbound lane, before crossing over the median and overturning. This tractor trailer, which was hauling a 2017 Utility Trailer with recycled paper inside, landed across the northbound lanes.
The driver sustained minor injuries.
The roadway was closed for multiple hours, and has since reopened.

How to protect nesting loons and their chicks
MONTPELIER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Vermonters hiking and boating on lakes may be familiar with the haunting call of the loon, an aquatic bird that has been the focus of protection efforts. This summer, Vermont Fish & Wildlife (VT F&W) asks people to be aware of their habitats. 'Loons were removed from Vermont's endangered species list in 2005, but they continue to face threats from human disturbance during the breeding season and mortality from the ingestion of fishing gear,' said VT F&W wildlife biologist Jillian Kilborn. Loons can become stressed when chased, even to the point of abandoning their young, so keeping a distance is important. Eric Hanson with the Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) says a top danger to loons in the state are fishing lines left behind by anglers, which can entangle the birds. 'Loons will take live bait and lures, killing a few each year,' says Hanson. 'A few loons have even learned that anglers are a source of easy food, and just like bears, it is very important that loons do not learn this problem habit.' Police: Black bears are prowling Colchester neighborhoods Hanson also says that the 'no wake' laws requiring boaters to slow down to 5 miles per hour within 200 feet of shorelines help protect loons, because the strong waves caused by fast-moving boats can destroy loon nests along the shoreline. Anyone interested in monitoring loons for the Loon Conservation Project can contact Hanson at loon@ Volunteers can also help out on LoonWatch Day, held annually on a Saturday in July to provide a loon population count. This year's count will be on July 19 between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Construction Updates on Two Waco Road Rehab Projects
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) — Construction is a familiar sight in Central Texas. Still, when orange cones line the roads and traffic backs up, many drivers find themselves wondering what exactly is going on. Two major road rehabilitation projects — one led by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the other by the City of Waco — are currently underway on West Waco Drive and Cobbs Drive. Both are designed to improve roadway conditions and pedestrian safety – but in the meantime, they're causing delays for local commuters. According to TxDOT, the West Waco Drive project spans from U.S. 77 to Valley Mills Drive and encompasses pavement milling, full-depth repairs, and asphalt overlay — all designed to enhance safety and improve the overall driving experience. Ronald Kennedy, a Waco native who commutes daily along West Waco Drive, feels the construction is necessary but concerning. 'I know it can cause a few wrecks,' Kennedy said. 'Mainly when they're picking up all the dust and dirt — you can't really see where oncoming traffic is coming from.' Kennedy hopes drivers will follow the posted signs and traffic cones because safety remains his biggest concern. 'Waco does need to change,' he added. 'A lot of streets need to be better.' Meanwhile, the City of Waco is overseeing construction on Cobbs Drive between Bosque Boulevard and Lake Air Drive. That project includes pavement overlays and significant pedestrian improvements, including new sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, and upgraded signal lights. Officials say work on Cobbs Drive is expected to be completed by October 2025. The West Waco Drive rehabilitation is slated to wrap up by early next year. In the meantime, officials urge drivers to remain cautious, slow down near construction zones, and watch for workers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
