Man injured, three cattle dead after accident in Grant County | News

LANCASTER, Wisconsin – Three cattle are dead and an Iowa man suffered minor injuries after an accident in Grant County.

According to Grant County Sheriff Nate Dreckman, at 1:29 p.m., a 61-year-old man was traveling south on U.S. Highway 61 in a 2001 Peterbelt tractor-trailer with a cattle trailer attached. Dreckman said the trailer was loaded with about 63 head of cattle.

The man approached the roundabout and was making a slight turn when he reportedly failed to yield immediately, went over the central barrier and struck a traffic sign. The semi-trailer rolled over on its driver’s side, skidded across the roundabout and struck another traffic sign before coming to a stop and blocking the roundabout.

The man was charged with not having control of his vehicle.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by Lancaster Emergency Medical Services, Lancaster Fire Department, Grant County Highway Department, and Guy’s and Truck and Tractor Service Inc.
