January 28, 2026 – Dodge Co., Wi – At approximately 6:15 am on January 28, 2026, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office responded to a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crash on U.S. Highway 151 northbound at State Highway 26 in the Town of Chester, Dodge County.
Preliminary investigation indicates that a 61-year-old male from Marshall, Wisconsin, was operating a 2015 Peterbilt tractor-trailer northbound on U.S. 151 when the vehicle left the roadway to the left, struck a guardrail, and overturned, blocking both northbound lanes.
U.S. 151 northbound is currently closed between the State Highway 26 off-ramp and on-ramp. Traffic is being detoured off the highway and immediately back on at this location. Motorists may experience minor delays and possible backups while crossing State Highway 26.
This detour is expected to last for a lengthy period of time as the CMV will need to be offloaded before it can be removed.
Agencies assisting at the scene include the Waupun Fire Department, Waupun Police Department, Dodge County Emergency Response Team (DCERT), Dodge County Highway Department, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and Wisconsin State Patrol.
The crash remains under investigation by the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office.
