SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

At about 4:58 p.m. Sept. 26, 2025, troopers from the VSP Royalton Barracks received a report of a crash on Happy Hollow Road in the town of Royalton, in Windsor County. Upon arriving on scene, troopers observed a vehicle that appeared to be turned over from a crash. Investigators determined two adults and three juveniles, ages 8, 13, and 15, were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

 

A subsequent investigation determined the crash was the result of grossly negligent operation by the driver, later identified as Brian Moore, 36, of Tunbridge. On scene, Moore failed to advise police or emergency medical services personnel that children were involved in the crash and had sustained serious bodily injuries. Moore and the passenger, later identified as Sierrah Carrasco, 28, of Tunbridge, falsely advised law enforcement authorities of who the operator was.

 

Following continued investigation into this crash, troopers issued Moore and Carrasco criminal citations to answer the aforementioned charges. Moore and Carrasco are due to appear for arraignment at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, in the Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in Woodstock.

 

No further information is available at this time. The affidavit of probable cause will be filed with the court and made public following the arraignment proceedings.
