A Forestville man died and his passenger was injured Saturday evening after a single-vehicle rollover crash in the town of Casco.
Just after 7 p.m., the Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department responded to the crash near the intersection of State Highway 54 and South View Lane where an SUV was found in a ditch. The initial investigation shows the driver, a 54-year-old Forestville man, lost control of his sports utility vehicle on an icy stretch of road. The vehicle traveled across the road, into a ditch, and ejected the driver. His passenger, a 55-year-old Forestville woman, was trapped inside the vehicle and had to be extracted by the Luxemburg Fire Department.
Both individuals had to be transported to a Green Bay hospital. An updated release from the Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department states the driver succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash after arrival to the medical facility. The woman suffered what was described as non-life threatening injuries and her condition is unknown at this time. The name of the driver will not be released until after family notification. The Casco-Lincoln-Red River First Responders were also called onto the scene of the incident, which is still under investigation by the Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department.
