TWO FATALITY TRAFFIC CRASH - TOWN OF DELLONA

On June 25, 2022 at approximately 6:25 am, the Sauk County Communications Center was notified of a single vehicle traffic crash on South Avenue west of Coon Bluff Road in the Town of Dellona.  It was reported that the vehicle had left the road and struck a tree.  Deputies from the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office, Delton Fire Department personnel, and emergency medical personnel from Dells-Delton and Reedsburg EMS were sent to the scene. 

Arriving first responders located two males deceased in the vehicle.  The initial investigation shows that the vehicle, a 2014 Hyundai Sonata, was westbound on South Avenue traveling at a high rate of speed.  The vehicle crested a hill and crossed the centerline.  The vehicle then overcorrected and began to rotate as it entered the north side ditch.  The vehicle continued to travel in the ditch until it struck a large tree. 

The driver and passenger of the vehicle were both 19-year-old males with ties to the Baraboo area.  Both men died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash.  The names of the deceased are being withheld at this time pending notification of family. 

This crash remains under investigation by the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office. 

The Sauk County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Delton Fire Department, Dells-Delton Ambulance Service, and Sauk County Coroner’s Office.
