Posted on February 27th, 2012 No Comments

A 34-year-old Sheboygan man was driving with his wife and children when he rear-ended a vehicle in front of him. The accident occurred near Ontario Avenue and 8th Street on Friday night.

When police arrived on the scene, the Sheboygan man was apparently slurring his speech and smelled of alcohol. He was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, and taken into custody. His blood alcohol content at the time of the accident was 0.19, more than two times the legal amount. He was charged with his 3rd OWI.

The man’s wife and children were driven home by the police. If the charge turns into a conviction, he faces a possibility of two years in jail, a $5,200 fine, and the revocation of his driver’s license for two years.

An 8-year-old girl has passed away as a result of a tw0-car accident in Milton, Wisconsin.

Last Friday, around 8:50 p.m. two vehicles collided into one another near an intersection. In total, six people were involved in the accident. Two of those individuals were injured, and one was killed. The young girl was pronounced dead by the emergency crew personnel after they arrived.

Her 5-year-old brother was taken by helicopter to a Madison children’s hospital in order to be treated for the serious injuries he sustained in the accident. His father, the driver of one of the vehicles, was released from a nearby hospital after he suffered minor injuries.

The other vehicle in the accident was being driven by a 55-year-old man. Police are trying to determine who was responsible for the fatal car accident, and have yet to place blame. They have figured out that high speeds and alcohol did not play a role in the deadly crash, and that everyone involved was secured with a seat belt at the time of the collision.

A motor vehicle carrying nine girls, who all attended Campbellsport High School, crashed into a vacant field around 3:00 a.m. on Saturday. The cause for the accident has yet to be determined, but police do believe that high speeds and the inability to wear seat belts were both factors in the fatal accident.

Three teenage girls, ages 15, 16, and 17, were killed as a result of the accident. The 18-year-old driver, as well as an additional three passengers were critically injured and taken to local hospitals to be treated. According to reports, all of the girls were teammates on a soccer team.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released information, which claims that the main reason for teenage deaths in the United States are car accidents. It is important for teenagers to understand the risks of driving, and to follow the rules while operating a motor vehicle on the road.

Our thoughts are with the victims’ families and friends during this tragic time.
