The preliminary investigation revealed that a 1992 Dodge Shadow, operated by David A. Saunders, age 28, of Baraboo, WI, was westbound on CTH U when Saunders failed to negotiate a curve. The vehicle struck a group of mailboxes and crossed the road coming to rest in a yard. Saunders was pronounced dead at the scene by Sauk County Coroner Greg Hahn.
Saunders was wearing a seatbelt and alcohol was a factor in this crash. This crash remains under investigation by the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office.
