Description: On August 5, 2024, the Windham County Sheriff's office received a complaint that sometime over the weekend a blue vehicle traveling north on Fort Bridgman Rd, left the roadway and struck a Zaluzny dump truck that was parked in the business parking lot. The vehicle and operator left the scene without reporting the crash to the owner of the truck or to law enforcement.

She was released on a citation to appear in the Windham Superior Court, Criminal Division at a later date. She was also issued two tickets for operating a vehicle with no registration and failing to have liability insurance.

The Windham County Sheriff's office and Corporal Gallup would like to Thank everyone that called in with information after we posted a social media post about this incident early into the investigation, that not only located the vehicle that was parked in another town, but also helped locating the operator.
