Monroe County, WI (November 11, 2024) – Authorities in Wisconsin say one person is dead, another is hurt, and a third has been arrested following a two-vehicle crash.

According to a release from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday, deputies responded at 10:20 a.m. for reports of a crash on County Highway A to the west of County Highway T.

Officials say a 2009 GMC Sierra, driven by a 39-year-old man, was driving east on County Highway A when he crossed into the westbound lane and crashed into another vehicle. The westbound vehicle, a 2016 Chevrolet Spark, was driven by 63-year-old man from Tomah.

Deputies report that the latter driver died from the injuries sustained in the crash and another passenger in the vehicle was taken to the hospital with what is being called “serious injuries.” However, no other information has been released, other than that charges may be pending. Police have not provided additional details thus far, though witnesses were asked to step forward as soon as possible.
