Agricultural vehicle accident closes Casco highway for nearly five hours

A collision between a milk hauling truck and a manure tanker closed State Highway 54 for nearly five hours east of Casco on Wednesday. The accident occurred just after 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of STH 54 and County Highway E when the empty manure tanker, driven by a 67-year-old Casco man, failed to stop at the stop sign and drove into traffic. The tanker’s trailer was struck by another semi truck hauling milk, which was being driven by a 29-year-old Kewaunee man as he was driving westbound on STH 54. The tanker’s trailer was knocked onto its side blocking one lane of traffic while both vehicles sat on the side of the road following the accident. The driver of the milk hauling truck had to be taken to a Green Bay hospital for treatment after suffering minor injuries. The Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department, Luxemburg Fire, Luxemburg Rescue, and Casco/Lincoln First Responders responded to the accident , clearing the scene shortly after 1 p.m.
