FOND DU LAC, Wis. (WFRV) – One person is in critical condition after authorities in Fond du Lac say they had to be removed from their vehicle following a rollover crash early Monday morning.
According to a release from the Fond du Lac Fire Rescue, crews responded at 2:52 a.m. to the area of the Club Car Wash on 256 North Pioneer Road for reports of debris on the roadway and a pickup truck crashed near the car wash vacuums.
Officials say a pickup truck was heading south on North Pioneer Road when the driver failed to negotiate a curve causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and rollover in the ditch before crashing head-on with the cinderblock wall that enclosed the car wash dumpsters.
The impact from the crash with the cinderblock wall reportedly caused the pickup truck to spin before eventually coming to a stop facing northbound near the car wash vacuums.
Upon arrival, Fond du Lac police officers and county deputies found the 38-year-old driver trapped inside the truck unconscious and removed him from the crashed pickup truck before immediately performing multiple life-saving measures.
The driver, who was in critical condition and facing life-threatening injuries, was taken by ambulance to the Fond du Lac County airport where the crew of a Flight for Life helicopter met them and took the crash victim to the Froedert Medical Center in Milwaukee.
No other information is available at this time. Local Five will update this story as more details are released.
