STH 78 Crash

On May 21, 2012 at approximately 9:55am the Sauk County Communications Center was notified of a single vehicle roll over traffic crash on STH 78 just north of Weigands Bay North in the Township of Merrimac. It was reported that the driver had been ejected.
Sheriff’s Deputies, Merrimac Fire and First Responders, and Sauk Prairie Ambulance Service were sent to the scene.
The investigation revealed that Brian D. Thomas, age 19, of Merrimac, WI, was southbound on STH 78 when he lost control of his pick up truck causing it to overturn in the ditch. Thomas was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. Thomas was transported to UW Hospital by Medflight Helicoptor for treatment of his injuries. Inattentive Driving appears to be a factor in this crash.
The Sauk County Highway Department also provided assistance during this investigation.
