Snowmobile accidents kill two

Posted on February 23rd, 2012 No Comments

Two snowmobile accidents that occurred over the weekend killed two people in Wisconsin.

Snowmobilers on Beaver Dam Lake plunged into open water Saturday night. Of the six that fell into the freezing lake, four were taken to the hospital. A 45 year-old Neohso man did not survive.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Conservation is urging people to stay off of Beaver Dam Lake because it is extremely unstable.

That same day another snowmobile occurred in Langland County that killed a 58 year-old woman. Sheriff’s deputies say she struck a tree and lost consciousness. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Chrysler announces recall of police cruisers

Posted on February 16th, 2012 No Comments

Chrysler Group, LLC is recalling nearly 10,000 2011-2012 Dodge Charger models made for law enforcement use.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, overheating problems could cause problems in the vehicles’ low beam headlights and anti-lock breaks. Overheating in the bulb harness connector could lead to problems in the headlights, and overheating in the power distribution module could cause the anti-lock breaks and electronic stability control to lose function.

Chrysler will replace the headlamp jumper harnesses and move the anti-lock break and electronic stability control fuse to fix the problem. All repairs will be made free of charge starting next month.

Three high school students die in car accident

Posted on February 9th, 2012 No Comments

Three teenage girls lost their lives this weekend after the car they were riding in rolled several times just west of Campbellsport.

The 18 year-old driver lost control of her vehicle just after 3:30 am Saturday. A total of nine people were in the SUV at the time of the crash. Four girls are currently in critical condition, and two are in stable condition.

Officers say the car was traveling at a high rate of speed when it crashed. Some of the girls were ejected from the vehicle since they were not wearing their seatbelts. The nine teenagers were all on the Campbellsport High School varsity and junior varsity soccer teams.

Our deepest sympathies are with the friends and families of the girls affected by the accident.

Florida pileup claims 11 lives

Posted on February 3rd, 2012 No Comments

A massive car pileup in Florida over the weekend has claimed 11 lives and sent 18 people to the hospital.

An estimated 12 cars, six tractor-trailers, and a motor home collided on Interstate 75 in Gainesville, Florida early Sunday morning, less than a quarter of an hour after Florida Highway Patrol reopened the stretch of highway. Dense fog and heavy smoke from brush fires made visibility dangerously low.

Witnesses say they saw cars getting hit multiple times and bursting into flames. Several cars were wedged under tractor-trailers. Investigators are seeking the help of anthropologists from the University of Florida to help identify the deceased.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those affected by this horrific crash.
