Posted on 10/29/2021
At approximately 4:18 p.m. on Thursday, October 28, the Pleasant Prairie Police and Fire and Rescue Departments responded to the 11300 block of Sheridan Road for reports of a vehicle crash involving a sedan and pick-up truck.
 
The preliminary traffic investigation indicates a southbound sedan operated by a 73-year-old female collided with a northbound pick-up truck driven by a 47-year-old female. It appears the southbound sedan swerved into the northbound lane, causing the northbound truck to take evasive action in an attempt to avoid the collision. However, the events resulted in a head-on crash, with both vehicles sustaining significant front-end damage. 

At the accident scene, Pleasant Prairie Fire and Rescue pronounced the 73-year-old female deceased. The 47-year-old female was transported to a local hospital with reportedly minor injuries. The name of the decedent is being withheld, pending proper notification. 

The Wisconsin State Patrol Traffic Reconstruction Unit assisted Pleasant Prairie safety personnel in the investigation. The crash remains under investigation by the Village of Pleasant Prairie Police Department and Wisconsin State Patrol. The Pleasant Prairie Police Department encourages any witnesses of the collision to contact Pleasant Prairie Police at 262.694.7353.
