A Door County sheriff’s deputy, a Nasewaupee first responder, and several bystanders helped to save a person from a burning pickup truck in the Town of Nasewaupee on Tuesday evening.

Emergency personnel were sent to County Road S near Tagge Road shortly after 5:20 p.m. According to the Door County Sheriff’s Department, the driver was towing a trailer and heading north when the vehicle crossed into the southbound lane of traffic, left the roadway, and struck a tree.

The first deputy on the scene discovered the driver lying on the ground outside the vehicle while the passenger remained inside. Chief Deputy Kyle Veeser confirmed a witness report that a sheriff’s deputy, a Nasewaupee first responder, and other bystanders assisted in removing the passenger from the vehicle shortly before it became fully engulfed in flames.

County Road S was reopened before 9 p.m. after additional investigation and cleanup took place.

The incident, which was listed as a DUI incident according to a dispatch report, remains under investigation.
