Antique wooden beams, from a demolished covered bridge, support the current Custom Laundry & Linen building. The covered bridge spanned the Connecticut River to Hinsdale, NH.

The commercial division of Custom Laundry was bought out by People’s Linen.

After locals pick up their cleaned items, the building is to be stripped of the equipment and then the building will be sold.

At the scene, police found a 2000 Ford pickup truck with extensive damage in a ditch on the east side of the road. Three injured men were outside the vehicle and police determined they had been occupants of the vehicle. All three were transported to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, but Police did not release information regarding the nature or extent of their injuries.

The vehicle had struck a telephone pole and damaged it. CVPS and Fairpoint responded to the scene to repair the pole.

The occupants of the vehicle were:

Bridget M. Dale, 22, Brattleboro
Linwood J. Gerry, 22, Brattleboro
Brandon W. Theriault, 23, Brattleboro
