Middlebury Police Continue Damage Assessment after Snowstorm and Report One Incident

During the overnight hours of Sunday, Oct. 30, into Monday, Oct. 31, Middlebury police added extra patrols and Public Works added extra manpower.

Police are in the process of completing a damage assessment of the town's power issues for CL&P. They estimate the assessment will be completed by 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 31.

Reported Incident

At around 4:10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 30, members of the Police and Public Works Departments employees and local citizens with quads accessed a dirt road off Washington Drive and rescued two people from a stuck truck.

The people who were stuck called a tow truck earlier in the night, but no tow truck showed up, police reported.

As the night progressed, the female passenger began to develop sugar-related issues. The woman was transported to Waterbury Hospital by a Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department ambulance.

Police said it took about two hours to get to them and remove them from the stuck vehicle about one mile into the woods, because the dirt road had to be plowed and several down trees needed to be cut away, police said.
