Police say possibly drugs and possibly speed killed two unborn fetuses in a crash Monday night on Route 7 near the Apple Valley Inn in Bennington.
Five people, including a woman who was pregnant with twins, went to the hospital. Officials say neither of the fetuses survived the crash. Police say Patricia Blair, who was pregnant, her husband and two sons were heading south when her minivan collided head on with a Hyundai. Kelly Cook of Pownal was driving the Hyundai and police say Cook crossed the center line as she came around a corner and hit Blair's van. They say they also found a prescription bottle in a purse in Cook's vehicle when they did their investigation. And police say speed was a factor, as a witness told them that it looked like Cook took the corner at about 60 miles an hour. It's unclear what charges Cook could face.
