German Flats Road was closed for close to two hours on Tuesday, December 9 due to a dump truck that exploded as the truck was headed uphill from the Fayston Elementary School towards Sugarbush North. Firefighters were on scene quickly soaking up what looked like diesel or some other fluid that had spilled on the southbound/uphill lane. Town road crews were planning to get the road sanded and re-opened by 2:15 p.m. and school buses were expected to be able to roll on time. There was no threat to students or staff at the school.
