Kenosha County, WI – Drivers in western Kenosha County are being urged to avoid a stretch of State Highway 83 today following a serious head-on crash that has shut down part of the roadway.
According to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office, the collision occurred in the 5700 block of STH 83, just north of the Wheatland Mobile Station near the intersection of STH 50 and STH 83. Deputies say emergency crews are actively working at the scene as of this report, with traffic impacted in both directions.
Authorities have not yet released details about the number of vehicles involved or whether there are injuries. However, the sheriff’s office described the crash as serious and is asking the public to stay clear of the area to allow first responders to work safely.
The affected area sits in the Town of Wheatland, within Kenosha County, about 20 miles west of Kenosha and near the Illinois state line. The corridor is commonly used by commuters traveling between Kenosha, Lake Geneva, and surrounding communities, which could lead to significant delays throughout the day.
Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes and expect disruptions near the STH 50 and STH 83 intersection. Traffic conditions may change as crews continue their response and begin any necessary investigation or cleanup.
Updates are expected as more information becomes available.
