State police release details in Derby rollover that closed I-91 South
DERBY, Vt. – A part of Interstate 91 in Derby was closed due to a dump truck rollover at about 10:03 a.m. Monday morning. On Monday afternoon, Vermont's Department of Motor Vehicles released more information about the accident. The black Western Star dump truck, according to state investigators, weighed about 68,000 pounds, or 34 tons. It was carrying a load of sand northbound on I-91 past Exit 28 in Derby when its left steer axle tire failed in the front of the vehicle. The driver, from Wheelock, VT, lost control of it as a result, but sustained only minor injuries.

I-91 North remained open with one lane, but I-91 South was fully closed while responders worked to move the vehicle and clean up liquid that was seen to be leaking from it. One lane of I-91 South reopened after just 25 minutes. The highway then had to be closed again for 15 minutes shortly after 1:00 p.m. as work continued to remove the truck from the roadway. As of 6:33 p.m, there are still lanes closed on the highway and motorists may experience delays, but another full closure is not anticipated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
