DELAFIELD -- Officials with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department have released the name of a 76-year-old Berlin man who died at the hospital after a crash on Highway 16 near Highway 83 in Delafield on Monday, May 2nd.

The victim has been identified as Paul Parsons.

All lanes were blocked on WIS 16 EB and WB at WIS 83 near Hartland for nearly five hours on Monday, May 2nd due to the rollover crash. Parsons later died at the hospital from injuries suffered in this crash.

The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. and involved a pickup truck and a Ford Focus.

The Berlin man was driving the pickup truck. He was taken to Froedtert Hospital with serious injuries, and later died.

Two children in his vehicle were ejected, and taken to Children's Hospital for treatment of what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. The children are six and eight years old -- and they have been released from the hospital.

A 30-year-old man who was driving the Ford Focus was taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital -- where he was treated and released.

A preliminary investigation has revealed that the 30-year-old man was headed westbound when he lost control of his vehicle -- striking the pickup truck. Both vehicles then left the roadway -- striking a guardrail and a bridge pillar before the pickup truck rolled over.

The area reopened to traffic around 8:15 p.m. Monday.

Delafield police are handling the investigation into this crash.
