Victim From Fatal Crash Identified

On Friday, June 23, 2017, the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office investigated a fatal traffic crash on USH 14 in the Town Of Spring Green.  Michael A. O’Leary, age 67, from Richland Center was pronounced dead by Medflight personnel shortly after the crash.  A preliminary investigation has revealed that Howard J. Murphy, age 83, from Spring Green was operating a 2010 Impala eastbound on USH 14.  Murphy was attempting to make a left turn into a private business driveway when he failed to yield to O’Leary who was operating a 2000 Harley Davidson westbound on USH14.

O’Leary was wearing a helmet and Murphy was using safety restraints.  Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash.

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