A 71-year-old Hartford, Wis., man was cited for failing to keep his vehicle under control after striking a utility pole last Friday in the Town of Liberty Grove. The crash occurred just before 11:45 a.m. on Berry Lane as the man was negotiating a curve in the road.
According to the crash report, the man was trying to follow the curve when his vehicle was unable to turn due to icy road conditions. The vehicle went into a ditch and struck a utility pole.
He was able to drive the vehicle home following the crash. He reported no injuries, but his wife suffered a possible injury that did not require additional treatment.
