Background. The jury could have found the following facts. At approximately 1:45 A . M . on March 17, 2017, a State police trooper was dispatched to the area on Interstate 91 before Exit 18 in Northampton, where a car was reported to have gone off the road and onto the median. The trooper testified that the roadway was "completely dry," but as he approached Exit 18 northbound, he saw tire marks in the snow that were still on the grass in the median. At the end of the approximately fifty yards of northward tracks, the trooper observed a gray Toyota Yaris sedan on the median, at the bottom of an embankment.
