HARTFORD — Police cited a New Hampshire man for DUI after they say he caused a crash on I-89 in Hartford that resulted in a FedEx driver’s death on Thursday evening.

Andrew Pott, 35, of Burke, Vt., was pronounced dead at the scene after police say the truck he was driving was hit by a BMW 750i driven by Gabriel Vestal, 19, of Rochester, N.H., at about 8:15 p.m., according to a news release from Vermont State Police.

Vestal received minor injuries in the crash — which occurred while the road conditions were clear and dry — and was transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

The FedEx truck was totaled, while the BMW had rear-end damage.
