At approximately 1:18 pm on Dec. 7, the Lebanon Police Department received a 911 call reporting a two-vehicle collision in the northbound lane of I-89 just north of Exit 18.

The deceased individuals have been identified as Amanda Murphy (24) and Jason Timmons (29) of 35 Fern Street, Wilder, Vermont. They were traveling in the northbound lane of I-89 when their vehicle, a 2005 Ford Escape, was struck by a 2005 Red Chevy pickup truck driven by Robert Dellinger (53) of 28 Birchpoint Lane, Sunapee, NH. Dellinger’s vehicle was traveling southbound on I-89 and then crossed over the median towards the northbound lane of travel, colliding with victims’ vehicle.
