Vehicle hits snowbank
On Sunday, Jan. 29, at 6:22 p.m., the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department received a report of a one-vehicle crash on Highway 27 approximately one mile north of Limery Road in the township of Prairie du Chien.
It was found that the vehicle crashed into a snow bank. Two other vehicles got stuck while reporting the crash to the Sheriff’s Department. All three vehicles were removed from the scene. The driver of a 2003 Buick Century was located at his residence.
David E. Elvert, 61, Wauzeka, was northbound on Highway 27 when he lost control. Elverts’ vehicle began to slide in the roadway and left the west side of the roadway and struck a snow embankment. Elvert left the scene and went to his residence. Elvert’s speed mixed with road conditions appeared to be a factor in the crash. Elvert was cited for too fast for conditions.
Elvert was uninjured in the crash. The vehicle sustained moderate damage. Assisting on scene were the Prairie du Chien Police Department, Bob’s Towing and the Crawford County Highway Department.
