Pleasant Prairie, WI (July 13, 2023) – Two vehicles were involved in a serious injury crash that took place at an intersection in Pleasant Prairie on Thursday morning, July 13.
According to Pleasant Prairie Police, the accident happened in the early morning hours of Thursday at the intersection of 88th Avenue and 104th Street. Police confirmed that two vehicles collided after entering the intersection simultaneously. One of the vehicles went off the side of the road following the accident and ended up inside a ditch. Both vehicles sustained significant damage and a traffic control box was damaged in the collision as well.
Several local responders, including paramedics and fire crews, were dispatched to the scene. A total of four people between the two vehicles sustained injuries in the accident. All of the unidentified parties were taken to local hospitals for treatment, though their conditions are not yet known.
Due to the severity of the accident, the intersection was blocked in several lanes for hours until police were able to clear the scene. Power was also deactivated in the area due to the control box being damaged so the Wisconsin Department of Transportation had to work to restore all traffic signals.
No further details have been released but the investigation into the collision continues.
