The Vernon County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday reporting a two-vehicle collision on Oneida Road, off Irish Ridge Road, in rural Cashton, in the town of Clinton.
Wayne K. Kruizenga, 64, of rural Viroqua was driving a 2011 Ford F150, traveling north, when he looked out his passenger window to wave at a farmer. When Kruizenga looked back to the road, he saw a 2024 Jeep operated by Duane W. Meyer Jr., 47, of Holmen. Meyer was pulling away from a mailbox after completing a postal delivery. Kruizenga braked and steered left while Meyer accelerated and went right. The Kruizenga vehicle struck the left rear side of the Meyer vehicle.
Kruizenga and Meyer, both wearing seat belts, were seen by first responders, but refused treatment.
The airbag deployed in the Kruizenga vehicle.
The La Farge Area Ambulance and Cashton Fire & Rescue assisted the sheriff’s office. (Vernon County Sheriff’s Office photos)
