Buchanan, WI (October 1, 2024) – A significant accident occurred on Friday, September 27, in a construction zone on County Trunk KK. Reports indicate that a driver crashed after speeding through ‘road closed’ barricades set up in Outagamie County.
Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene and assessed the situation, finding that the driver required immediate medical assistance. Due to the severity of the incident, first responders requested the ThedaStar helicopter for air transport. Unfortunately, there were no helicopters available within an hour of the response time, necessitating alternative measures for the injured individual.
The driver was extricated from the vehicle using the Jaws of Life, a tool commonly employed in rescue operations to remove individuals trapped in their vehicles following severe accidents safely. The injured party was subsequently transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
Our thoughts are with the injured individual and their family during this difficult time.

According to statistics, construction zones are often sites of increased risk for accidents. Drivers are urged to remain vigilant and adhere to posted signs and signals to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
