Trooper David Lambert, from the Vermont State Police, said that, in his statement, a wrong driver was reported on the interstate near Montpelier on Tuesday morning. Lambert said the vehicle was heading south on the northern band. He said the shipment later reported that the vehicle was driving to the north, on the south band, near Middlesex.

The chafter said he answered and the vehicle drove to him and passed by him, while he was in the same tape, despite the blue lights of his Cruiser.

Lambert said the police used peak bands, and the vehicle drove over them. He said he had caught the vehicle, who was driving slowly with the flat tires and pulled in front of him so that he stopped. Lambert said the driver was identified as Brown by driver’s permit. He said Brown reported that he was trying to get home, but missed her exit to Montpelier.

Brown was driving a 2012 Toyota Camry, the police said.
