MADISON,
Wis. (AP) – The Dane County Sheriff’s Office says speed and alcohol are
believed to be factors in a crash that claimed the life of a 16-year-old boy.
The
crash happened at about 3:45 a.m. Saturday in the town of Cottage Grove.
Sheriff’s
officials say the teen was driving a Chevrolet Sierra pickup truck northbound
on Vilas Hope Road when he lost control, crossed over the southbound lanes and
went into a ditch. The vehicle went airborne and collided with a tree.
The
McFarland teen was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld
until his family is notified.
