Police said they were called to East Woodstock Road near Britton Lane at 11:06 p.m. Friday for a report of a single-vehicle crash, police said in a statement published to social media. Officers arrived to find a gray 2013 Infiniti G37 that had struck a tree, but the driver, identified as 19-year-old Benjamin Johnsen, had already left the scene.

Johnsen’s father reported him missing around noon Saturday, prompting police to open a missing person investigation and bring in additional resources, officials said.

At about 4:16 p.m. Saturday, emergency personnel were called to the bank of the Ottauquechee River near Old River Road and Rolling Ridge Drive, where a body had been found. Police said the man was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified as Johnsen.

The body has been sent to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington for an autopsy. Police said the initial investigation does not indicate the death is suspicious.

No further information was released.
