Vermont man guilty of murder in wrong-way crash that killed 5 teens
Frank Miles

A man in Vermont was convicted Wednesday in the deaths of five teenagers killed in a crash after he drove the wrong way on an interstate highway.

The jury returned the verdict in the case of Steven Bourgoin on its second day of deliberations following a two-week trial in Vermont Superior Court in Burlington.

The jury rejected the claim by Bourgoin that he was insane at the time of the October 2016 crash on Interstate 89 in Williston.

Horrible event, reported on in this forum when it happened... October 2016, it doesn't seem that long ago.

Yesterday, we had to take me to a doctor in Fort Worth.  Was a 55 min. travel to get there.
We were in Fort Worth and in the left lane of a divided highway.  There was barely room off the highway there for a car to be.  A police motor cycle was there, policeman off it and talking to someone.  A man's car was there GOING THE WRONG WAY.  We saw no entrance or exist there for the car to get on that highway, so it had to be an entrance/exit some distance from there.  This was in the city so cars were full on these several lanes of highway.  Don't see how cars did not hit him.  There is no way one policeman could stop the high traffic for this car to turn around.  He was going to have to call for more cops/cars to stop the traffic.
