A 24-year-old Stevens Point man was transferred to a Green Bay hospital for treatment of “life-threatening” injuries following a two-vehicle crash this morning near the Village of Cleveland.
The Manitowoc County Joint Dispatch Center received a call around 9:45 a.m. for the crash which occurred along I-43 near Fischer Creek Road in The Town of Centerville.
A preliminary investigation indicates the Stevens Point male was traveling at a high rate of speed northbound on I-43 when he collided with a vehicle driven by a 65-year-old man from Fond Du Lac causing both drivers to lose control, proceed through the median, and across both southbound lanes of traffic before coming to rest.
The Fond Du Lac male’s vehicle ended up on the southbound shoulder. He was treated on scene and released while the 24-year-old Stevens Point man’s car struck a tree before ending up in a ditch. No names or conditions are being released at this time as the State Patrol continues its investigation.
Agencies assisting on the scene include the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department, Manitowoc Fire and Rescue, Cleveland and Newton Fire Departments, Cleveland Police, and The Manitowoc County Highway Department.
