On Sept. 17, Cory Cooper of Kendall was operating a heavy truck and forage box on County Highway WW in the town of Hillsboro, traveling southbound downhill, when the brakes failed. The truck traveled through the intersection, struck an embankment, went through a fence, and became submerged in a marshy area. Cooper and his passenger, Hunter Cooper, did not report any injuries. The truck had functional damage. (Vernon County Sheriff’s Office photo)
