State trooper injured in motorcycle crash
A Wisconsin State Trooper had to be taken to a Green Bay hospital for a suspected serious injury last week after he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a utility pole. The accident occurred last Wednesday before 6 p.m. on State Highway 42 in Gibraltar. According to the accident report, the 29-year-old Fond du Lac man trooper was traveling north on the highway when he crossed the centerline into the southbound lane before entering the ditch. He continued to travel north in the ditch before hitting some brush and a utility pole. He eventually stopped when his motorcycle traveled further into the woods and hit a tree. The highway was closed about 20 minutes after the crash and did not reopen until just before 1 a.m. No citations were issued in the crash, but it remains under investigation after the Brown County Sheriff’s Department arrived to reconstruct the crash.
