A 12-year-old boy was involved in a fatal crash around 5:30 Tuesday night with a truck while riding his bike in Shawano County Town of Waukechon. Medical staff report that the boy died of his injuries in hospital Wednesday.

The driver of the truck suffered minor injuries. The 12-year-old was exiting the driveway of a residence on Lark Road when the crash occurred.

Authorities are still investigating and fault has not been assigned.

Kenosha Police Department officials are reviewing the pedestrian accident that left a 15-year old girl dead.  The accident occurred around 9 PM on June 17th when 42-year old Denise Heckel ran her vehicle into Michelina "Micki" Combs in Paris along County Highway N.  

Police began reviewing the case again after reports were released that a wrongful death lawsuit may be pursued against Heckel.  Heckel hit Combs as she and a friend were walking along the westbound lanes of the highway.  Heckel allegedly could not see Combs until after coming over a hill, and quickly tried to avoid hitting her but was unable.  

Heckel admitted that she consumed five wine coolers from 4 PM to 6:30 PM that evening, but said she only drank water after that.  A blood sample from Heckel was not taken until two hours after the accident and revealed a blood alcohol content below the legal limit.  

According to authorities, a man was found dead on Monday following a single-vehicle accident in which his car careened off Green Bay Road in Pleasant Prairie.

Police say they received a report of the crash around 1:07 PM Monday. The caller said they had seen a crumpled car about 25 yards off the roadway near Springbrook Road.

The 27-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The car had knocked down several small trees and landed upside down.

According to friends of the victim, he was headed to Kenosha at the time of the crash.

Police are sure that speed is a factor in the accident and are currently investigating to determine any other possible causes for the crash.
