The driver of the Semi Tractor Trailer then overcorrected back onto the roadway and crossed the center line into the southbound lane. The second vehicle that was involved was traveling southbound on CTH N and attempted to make an evasive maneuver onto the west shoulder when it was struck by the Semi Tractor Trailer.

When Deputies arrived both the driver and the front passenger of the vehicle that was struck were trapped in the vehicle. Life saving measures were attempted, however both the driver and the passenger were pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Semi Tractor Trailer was uninjured.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Whitewater Fire Department and EMS, the Jefferson County Medical Examiner, as well as staff from Jefferson County Emergency Communications.
