A driver headed the wrong way on a divided highway about a mile north of the Village of Waldo injured two, one fatally on Saturday night.
The Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office says the accident happened at 10:52 p.m. when a vehicle traveling north in the southbound lanes of Highway 57 collided head-on with another vehicle near County Highway “N” in the Town of Lyndon. The wrong-way driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver of the other vehicle had serious injuries and was transported by ambulance to Aurora Medical Center in Grafton for treatment.
The Cascade Fire Department Jaws of Life Unit responded, as did the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office, Plymouth Police Department, Orange Cross Ambulance, Adell First Responders, City of Sheboygan Fire Department, Waldo Fire Department, the Wisconsin DNR and the Sheboygan County Highway Department.
The names of those involved have yet to be released, as the accident is still under investigation.
