SUMMARY OF CRASH:
On 11/19/12 Robison was traveling north on Interstate 91. He entered into an extreme bank of fog, that made visibility very poor. Gibbon’s, currently north of Robison stopped his vehicle in what he believed was the break down lane, as he could no longer see the road due to the fog. Robison collided with the driver’s side of Gibbon’s trailer causing Robison’s vehicle to be totaled on impact. Robison was transported to the Springfield E.R. for treatment due to injures sustained from the crash. The Northbound side of the Interstate was closed down for several hours as a result of this crash. The Interstate has been fully reopened.
