Town of Dover crash; pickup truck leaves roadway, strikes trees
TOWN OF DOVER, Wis. - A woman is recovering from injuries after crashing a pickup truck into two large trees in the Town of Dover early Sunday morning, March 10. Emergency responders were notified of the wreck by an automated Apple Watch notification that went directly to the Racine County Communications Center.
The crash happened just before 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Officials say the Kansasville Fire & Rescue Department (KFRD) was dispatched to the wreck on Highway 11 (Durand Avenue) in western Racine County.
KFRD units located the pickup truck about 50 feet south of the paved roadway with extensive damage and full airbag deployment. The vehicle was apparently traveling eastbound on Durand Avenue and left the roadway, then struck two large trees -- first striking a large tree before finally striking and shearing off a large pine tree that was estimated to have been 40' tall before the impact.
