On April 14, 2006 Deputy Kachajian was dispatched to the

accident with unknown injuries. Upon arrival on scene with
the St. Albans Town Fire Department, both operators were
standing outside of their respective vehicles and did not
appeared to be injured. The operator of vehicle #2, Ms.
Lussier, advised the deputy that she had a headache and
that her neck was burning as a result of the crash, but that
she did not want to be seen by rescue. The other operator
involved in the crash, Ms. Bliss was not injured. During the
course of his investigation, Deputy Kachajian learned that
Ms. Lussier had been stopped at the intersection of Lower
Newton Road and was in the process of making a left hand 
turn onto Lord Road. While she was waiting to turn, Ms.
Lussier was struck from behind by Ms. Bliss. Ms. Bliss

suddenly in the roadway and that she did not activate her
turn signal while stopped at the intersection. Neither
operator was issued a moving violation as a result of this
accident.
