Cedarburg man airlifted following OWI crash
A 63-year-old Cedarburg man had to be airlifted to a Green Bay hospital Sunday following a single-vehicle crash in the Town of Liberty Grove. The accident occurred on Scandia Road near Old Stage Road at 9:15 p.m. Deputies arrived on the scene less than 10 minutes after it was called in as a 911 follow-up. They discovered the Cedarburg man outside his pickup truck in a ditch near a tree. The man told deputies he did not know what caused the crash or what he was doing before it. It was determined later that he was under the influence and not wearing a seatbelt when the accident occurred. The man was taken via EMS Air to receive additional treatment. He was cited for not just operating under the influence and not wearing a seat belt, but also for unsafe lane deviation and failing to control the vehicle. It took crews about an hour to clear the scene, which meant towing the car away.
