Sauk County Man Dies In Crash

On February 28, 2016 at approximately 3:20 P.M. the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office responded to a one vehicle crash on CTH H at Birchwood Rd. in the TWP of Delton.  The preliminary investigation revealed that a 26 year old Sauk County man was operating a 2000 Chevrolet van eastbound on CTH H.  The operator failed to properly negotiate a curve at which time the van left the road and struck several trees.  The operator was ejected and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Sauk County Coroner’s Office.

Speed and failure to have control were contributing circumstances to the crash.  The operator was not wearing a seatbelt and alcohol use is unknown at this time.

The name of the operator will be released after notification is made to family.

The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Lake Delton Fire and Dells/Delton EMS.
