NEW HAVEN, Vt. — An 18-year-old Middlebury woman was ticketed for driving at an unreasonable speed after her car struck a guardrail on U.S. Route 7 in New Haven, Vermont, on Sunday afternoon, the Vermont State Police said.

Troopers from the New Haven barracks were called at about 1:26 p.m. to a single-vehicle crash on Route 7 south of Willow Lane, according to state police.

Police said Abbigail Garrant was driving a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta north and tried to turn around in a pull-off when the front of the car struck a guardrail in the southbound pull-off. Troopers said speed was a contributing factor.

No one was hurt, according to the release. Garrant was wearing a seat belt, and the Jetta had front-end damage, police said. The weather was clear and the road was dry.

Garrant was issued a civil ticket for unreasonable speed for conditions and hazards, which carries a $220 fine and two points on a driver's license, state police said. Police said no court action is involved.
