Milladore, WI (August 11, 2024) – On Thursday, August 8, the Wood County Dispatch Center was notified of a crash at the intersection of Highway 10 and Highway N in the Township of Milladore.

The dispatch center was informed that the crash involved a vehicle and a motorcycle. Wood County Deputies and 1st Responders made contact at the scene and medical procedures were initiated. Life-saving attempts with the motorcycle operator were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A passenger on the motorcycle also sustained multiple injuries and was transported via Lifelink to an area hospital for additional medical care. The operator of the motor vehicle suffered injuries as well and was then transported to a medical facility.

Initial on-scene investigation indicates that the northbound motor vehicle may have failed to yield the right of way at a stop sign on Highway N while attempting to cross Highway 10. From this action, the motorcycle traveling eastbound on 10 collided with the motor vehicle. However, this incident remains under investigation by the Wood County Sheriff’s Department and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

We extend our sincere condolences to the deceased victim's family. Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of their full recovery.

Motorcycle Accidents in Wisconsin

Wisconsin motorcycle riders head out on the open roads for the freedom and fun that come with traveling through the streets on a bike. Unfortunately, since motorcycles provide minimal protection from the road or other objects during an accident compared to passenger vehicles or trucks, motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on our roadways.

Moreover, when motorcycle riders are injured in collisions, they face a number of difficulties. First and foremost, others tend to assume that they are the cause of a collision since motorcyclists are often seen as wild and reckless. Secondly, since motorcyclists are not encircled by the protective elements of cars, they are at a much higher risk of dying or suffering grave injuries in a crash.

For these reasons and more, if you have been hurt in a motorcycle collision or lost a loved one, a comprehensive accident investigation with the help of a qualified personal injury attorney is essential to pursuing compensation for your injuries and losses.
