Subject: INJURY ACCIDENT (2016-20164)
Authority: LIEUTENANT RYAN HERMAN
On Friday, June 3 2016, at 6:35 pm the Washington County Sheriff’s Office was notified of an accident with injury at the intersection of Hwy WW and Beaver Dam Road in the Town of Wayne.
While responding further information was provided of a female operator being unconscious. Dispatched to assist at the scene were the Kohlsville Fire Department, Allenton Rescue, and West Bend Rescue.
On arrival two damaged vehicles were located in the northwest ditch of that intersection. The male operator (sole occupant) of the involved truck was mobile and able to speak with rescue personnel and law enforcement.
The female operator, 16, of the involved car was unconscious and still inside the vehicle. Her female passenger, 16, also remained inside the car. Rescue personnel removed both females and began medical assessments.
The operator was evaluated and a determination to have her flown from the scene via flight for life was made.
The passenger was evaluated and ultimately transported to St Joseph’s Hospital (Town of Polk) for precautionary reasons. The male operator, 40, was released from the scene with no injury.
Preliminary investigation shows the truck northbound on Hwy WW and the car westbound on Beaver Dam Road. There was no traffic control on Hwy WW but a stop sign did control Beaver Dam Road.
The car entered the intersection and was struck on the driver’s side.
At this time it is unknown if the car stopped for the stop sign or slowed for the stop sign prior to entering the intersection to continue westbound. This investigation is on-going.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
