DODGE COUNTY – The 42-year-old Watertown man who died in a crash with a semitruck June 13 has been identified.
Dodge County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as William McDonald June 14, adding the crash was still under investigation.
The crash happened on County A/I, south of County S in town of Oak Grove, at around 10:10 a.m. June 13.
Dodge County Sheriff’s Office said preliminary investigation revealed a silver 2012 Buick Regal driven by McDonald was headed north on County A/I when it failed to negotiate a slight right curve, entering the southbound lane. The Buick Regal then collided with a southbound semitruck pulling a trailer.
The semi came to rest across both lanes of traffic and the Buick came to rest against a tree on the east side of the roadway.
The sheriff’s office said McDonald had to be extricated from his vehicle. He was flown to a Milwaukee hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased, the sheriff’s office said.
The driver of the semitruck was a 50-year-old Richton Park, Illinois, man, who sustained minor injuries and was treated at a Beaver Dam hospital.
