Beaver Dam Man Killed in Highway 26 Accident


10/28/09 - An 18-year-old man from Beaver Dam is dead following a car versus semi accident on Highway 26 north of Watertown. Patrol Captain Molly Soblewski says the man was going southbound on Highway 26 near county road JM when he appeared to cross the centerline and crashed into a northbound semi-tractor trailer. Soblewski says the man in the car was pronounced dead at the scene. Traffic was rerouted during the morning commute and returned to normal around 10 this morning. The investigation shows that speed was not a factor. The driver of the Semi attempted to steer out of the way of the oncoming car, but the collision was unavoidable. This is the eleventh fatal accident on Dodge County roads this year. There were 17 fatalities last year at this time.
