The northbound lanes of I-43 from Wisconsin Highway 32 to County Road LL are closed due to a crash.
That's in the Oostburg area. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the incident happened around 5:15 Thursday morning. The closure is expected to last about two hours.
According to the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to an area near mile marker 116 for a two-vehicle accident. One vehicle had a male, 51-year-old driver and a male, 59-year-old passenger. The driver was transported from the scene by flight for life. The passenger didn't report any injuries.
Sheriff's deputies say the second vehicle was a semi-truck driven by a 44-year-old man who reported minor injuries. He was transported from the scene by ambulance.
A neighbor was home when the crash happened. She told TMJ4's Kaylee Staral that sheheard tires screeching and then a crashing sound. When she went out to see what had happened, Dawn Ramirez says she saw a dead deer alongside the road.
"We need to pray," she says. "We need to pray everyone's okay who was involved in the accident."
The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office says it's still investigating the cause of the crash.
If the closure is part of your morning commute, WisDOT is recommending you exit at Highway 32 and use Sauk Route Trail as a detour.
