Windsor, WI (November 3, 2024) – Authorities say that two people died, and another person was injured in a three-vehicle crash on Sunday morning on U.S. 51 in the Village of Windsor.

The Dane County Sheriff's Office said Sunday that the crash happened around 11:20 a.m. on U.S. Highway 51, just south of County Highway DM. According to the Sheriff's Office, two vehicles were traveling northbound on U.S. 51 when a collision occurred. A 43-year-old man crashed into a second vehicle operated by a 23-year-old man, causing the second vehicle to veer into the southbound lane, which was then struck by a southbound vehicle driven by a 67-year-old man.

The driver of the southbound vehicle did not sustain any injuries. The 43-year-old driver of the northbound vehicle was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The 23-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while his 23-year-old female passenger was later pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.

In the meantime, the crash remains under investigation, and no further details have been released. Police have not provided additional information about the victims thus far, though witnesses were asked to step forward as soon as possible.

We extend our deepest condolences to the deceased victims' families. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their complete recovery.

Major Auto Accidents in Wisconsin

Accidents that involve a rollover are especially frightening and dangerous. Moreover, you may currently be at risk of catastrophic injuries if you were in a vehicle that overturned or toppled. In the worst-case scenario, you may be required to accept a disfigurement or disability, or you may be facing a recovery period of weeks or months. The likelihood of sustained substantial injuries following a rollover accident is significantly increased if the vehicle was older and lacked the most recent safety technology, or if the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
