A “shattering and visceral” Sunday evening has left the Corinth community in profound mourning following a catastrophic single-vehicle accident.

The Vermont State Police in St. Johnsbury launched a high-priority investigation into the “sudden and devastating” circumstances of the incident, which occurred at approximately 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 5, 2026, near Turkey Hill Road and Goose Green Road.

The fatal sequence began as Burt navigated a sharp turn on his ATV, losing stability and causing the vehicle to overturn. During the rollover, he was ejected and sustained critical trauma. Despite “rapid and high-priority” emergency response efforts, his injuries were insurmountable, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Vermont State Police confirmed no other vehicles were involved, and investigations into terrain, speed, and mechanical factors remain active.

At 38, Lorin Burt was celebrated for his “stable and caring” presence in Corinth.
