A Dodge County Sheriff’s Office sergeant assigned to the village of Lomira responded to a serious injury crash in the village, shortly after 9 a.m. on Friday, December 26.  

The sergeant was dispatched to investigate the crash in the area of Industrial Drive between East Avenue and Main Street. He located a car occupied by an individual, determined to be the driver of the car, who had suspected serious injuries and was incoherent. The car was not easily visible from the roadway. 37-year-old Tyvonne Young, of Milwaukee, was transported to a hospital in Madison with serious injuries that are not expected to be life-threatening.

The investigation showed the vehicle was southbound on Industrial Drive and left the roadway on the left, entered a field, crossed over a frozen retention pond, then vaulted into a tree line after striking the opposite bank of the pond.

Speeds at the time of the crash, along with wearing the seat belt improperly were factors in the accident.  

Responding to the crash with the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office were the Wisconsin State Patrol, Lomira Fire Department and First Responders, Mayville EMS, Theresa Fire Department, and Fond du Lac Fire/Rescue paramedics.

A medical helicopter had been requested during the response.
