(LOWELL) Drivers heading through the Town of Lowell faced delays Monday morning after a crash on State Highway 16/60 sent one man to the hospital with serious injuries.
Deputies say it happened just after 6:30 a.m., when a Subaru Outback crossed the center line and hit a Ford F-550 coming the other way. The truck was towing a trailer loaded with a mini excavator at the time.
The Subaru’s driver — a man from Watertown — was flown to Froedtert Hospital. The pickup driver, from Fond du Lac, was taken to Marshfield Medical Center–Beaver Dam with minor injuries.
The highway was shut down for several hours while emergency crews responded, but it has since reopened.
Teams from multiple agencies — including paramedics from Beaver Dam and Watertown, CLR Fire, the Wisconsin State Patrol, and the Dodge County Crash Investigation Team — worked the scene.
Investigators are still piecing together what caused the Subaru to cross the center line.
This crash remains under investigation.
