Traffic on Route 100 was backed up this morning for nearly three hours after a two-vehicle collision about a quarter-mile south of the Moscow Road intersection at about 8:20 a.m.
Route 100 reopened just after 11 a.m.
Details were sketchy, as investigators were still trying to figure out what happened, but one driver was taken to UVM Medical Center in Burlington.
Stowe police said preliminary investigation indicates that a southbound vehicle crossed the center line and struck a northbound vehicle head-on.
The collision involved a red compact car and a GMC SUV, with the heaviest damage on the left front of the compact, right in front of the driver.
As traffic backed up, the damaged red car was sitting near the center line of Route 100; the SUV was in a ditch off the east side of the highway.
Stowe police are being assisted by the Vermont State Police accident reconstruction team in figuring out what happened and why.
Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to call Stowe police at 253-7126.
