Rheaume’s vehicle apparently crossed the center line of the road and collided head-on with Ebbighausen’s cruiser. The truck then hit into another police car.The 19-year-old began working as a part-time officer at the department in May and was set to begin her full-time training at the Vermont Police Academy in August.Ebbighausen had dreamed of becoming a police officer since she was 9 years old and had completed an internship with the department during high school, Kilcullen said.
“I’m here today to mourn, really, the loss of a family member,” he said. “The state police are conducting the investigation. At some point, we’ll review everything.”State police said speed and substance abuse were being looked into as factors in the crash. They could immediately not say if there were open criminal cases against Rheaume or what charges he might face.
