Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and officers from the Slinger Police Department responded to the scene. St. Lawrence and Hartford Fire Departments also responded.
Upon arrival of the first deputy, it was determined that the operator of a westbound vehicle was deceased.
The operator was identified as a 21-year-old Town of Hartford man. His vehicle struck a vehicle operated by a 64-year-old Fond du Lac County woman.
After fire personnel completed extrication, she was transported by Flight for Life to a hospital for treatment.
Initial investigation indicates the vehicle operated by the Fond du Lac County woman was turning north onto the northbound ramp to Interstate 41 when it was struck by the westbound vehicle operated by the Town of Hartford man. Speed appears to be a contributing factor.
The roadway was closed for approximately six hours. The crash remains under investigation by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
This is the 11th traffic fatality investigated by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in 2023.
