NECN is reporting that a teen from East Boston was killed in a car crash in Vermont over the weekend.
Around 12:43 pm on Sunday, Vermont State Police responded to a report of a single car crash on I-91 in the town of Barton. Their preliminary investigation determined that a 2013 Ford Explorer was driving north when it veered off the right side of the highway, went down an embankment, and struck the wood line and a concrete wall.
The driver was identified by police as Ediberto Luna, 30, of East Boston. Luna sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital. The front seat passenger, identified as Jorge Caballeros, 33, of East Boston, sustained serious injuries but is expected to survive. He was also taken to an area hospital. The rear-seat passenger, identified as Brian Sanchez, 18, of East Boston, was taken to the hospital, where he later died of injuries sustained in the crash.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but state police said the road conditions were wet at the time. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to contact Sgt. Joshua Mikkola by email at [email protected] or by calling 802-334-8881.
