12/2/11 – Two people were seriously hurt in a two-vehicle head on collision yesterday afternoon on Highway 151 just south of Columbus. Authorities say it happened at the Dane County-Columbia County line and forced the road to be shut down for three hours. According to the Dane County Sheriff’s Department, a Ford Expedition driving north veered over a grassy median strip and into the oncoming lanes where it struck a southbound Honda Civic. The driver of the Ford Expedition, 19-year-old Chase Yarbrough of West Bend, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The two occupants of the other vehicle, 32-year-old Delfino Gomez-Tome and 32-year-old Elizabeth Cuatle-Castillo, both of Sun Prairie, were seriously injured and flown to local hospitals. The investigation is ongoing but officials say inattentive driving is believed to a factor in the accident.
