Fond du Lac County, WI – A 21-year-old woman was seriously injured and airlifted to a Milwaukee hospital following a single-vehicle crash late Sunday night in the Village of Campbellsport, according to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched around 9:22 p.m. Sunday after the county’s Communications Center received an automatic crash notification on County Highway W near Industrial Parkway. Multiple emergency agencies responded, including the Campbellsport Fire Department, Campbellsport Ambulance, Campbellsport First Responders, City of Fond du Lac Ambulance (Intercept), and Flight for Life.
Investigators say the passenger vehicle was traveling northbound on County Highway W when it failed to negotiate a curve. The vehicle reportedly left the roadway, traveled down an embankment, and struck a tree.
The driver, identified as a 21-year-old woman from West Bend, sustained serious injuries and was flown by Flight for Life to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee for treatment. Authorities noted that the driver was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor, according to the Sheriff’s Office. No additional occupants were mentioned in the release.
