At about 8:45 a.m. Friday, Feb. 20, the Sheriff’s Office 911 Dispatch Center received a report of a motor vehicle crash on Kelbel Road, near the intersection of Knapp Valley Road, in the town of Clinton (rural Cashton), according to Vernon County Sheriff Roy Torgerson.
Knowlton Scot Sanders, 60, of rural Cashton was operating an International Workstar dump truck, engaged in winter highway maintenance, plowing snow. Due to the heavy snowfall, Sanders was unable to determine the location of the roadway edges and went off the left side of the roadway. The truck rolled onto the driver’s side and came to rest just off the roadway.
Sanders was injured and transported to Vernon Health in Viroqua, Wis., by La Farge Area Ambulance and Gundersen Tri-State Ambulance.
The Cashton Fire Department, Cashton First Responders, and La Farge Area Ambulance assisted the sheriff’s office, which is investigating the crash.
