According to a press release from the Green County Sheriff’s Office, yesterday at about 7:45 a.m. dispatch received a 911 call about a two vehicle crash along State Highway 104, north of County Highway A, in the Town of Albany. Green and Rock County deputies along with the Albany Fire Department, Albany Emergency Medical Services, Brodhead Fire Department, Brodhead Emergency Medical Services and Green County Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene.
At the time of the crash, road conditions were wet and slushy due to snow. Deputies arrived on scene and located a commercial motor vehicle blocking the entire roadway and a sport utility vehicle on the east side of the roadway. Deputies immediately began life saving measures on the driver of the sport utility vehicle until patient care was transferred to EMS.
The preliminary investigation has revealed that a 2003 Nissan Murano sport utility vehicle was northbound on State Highway 104 when it lost control due to the slush covered roadway. The SUV crossed the centerline into the path of a southbound 2019 Freightliner straight truck. The collision caused moderate disabling damage to the Freightliner and it came to rest across all lanes of State Highway 104. The Nissan sustained severe disabling damage and came to a rest on the east side of State Highway 104. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. The driver of the Freightliner, Westby resident 62 year old Robin Greenland, sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported by Albany EMS to a hospital in Janesville. His seatbelt was used and there was no airbag deployment. The driver of the Nissan, a 25 year old male of Brodhead sustained life threatening injuries and was transported by Brodhead EMS to the same Janesville hospital. Upon arrival, he was pronounced deceased. The male was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of crash and airbags didn't deploy. More information on this story will be given if it becomes available.
