Fairfax Fire Responding To Motor Vehicle Accident 104 & 128 Intersection

No injuries reported, however there are leaking fluids

In my opinion, this is one of the busiest intersections in Fairfax.  The speed limit by Union Bank is 40 mph.  If you are trying to turn left or right, it's almost impossible to predict the oncoming traffic coming from Westford.

There was no accident. Just a car pulled over with flashers on.  Not sure who called it in as such, but certainly  not the most efficient use of emergency resources.

Not the most efficient use of emergency resources, but a use all the same.  The fire department responds to true emergencies, and situations that some people percieve as emergencies.  This time, it turned out to not be an emergency, but it could have just as easily been a medical emergency someone called in.

 There was no major damage and no injuries at the scene. Menard admitted that he was under criminal suspension at the time due to a DUI conviction. A check with DMV records confirmed this as well. Menard was charged with driving under criminal suspension and was cited at the scene for that offense. He was ordered to appear in VT District Court to answer to that charge.
 Menard was also found at fault for the accident and was issued a ticket for traveling too fast for the road conditions.
 No further action at this time.

Nothing but a car there when fire/rescue arrived. Not even any VSP.
