Brighton, WI (January 20, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle rollover accident occurred late Sunday morning at the intersection of CTH JB (31st St) and CTH BD (formerly STH 75) in Brighton, located in western Kenosha County. The crash was reported just before 11:30 a.m., prompting an emergency response from the Kansasville Fire & Rescue Department (KFRD), Salem Lakes Fire & Rescue Department (SLFD), and the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.
First responders found two heavily damaged vehicles approximately 50 feet northeast of the intersection.

Crews safely extricated all individuals from the wreckage, with two occupants refusing transport, and two others were taken to a local Kenosha hospital for further evaluation. The injuries sustained were reported as non-life-threatening. Additionally, a dog traveling in the Ram pickup was transported for veterinary care due to possible injuries.
