Driver cited after getting stuck in freshly poured concrete

Dodge County Sheriff's Deputies responded to an incident, where a vehicle that drove around road-closed barricades ended up stuck in freshly poured concrete. It was actual fresh concrete, in this case.

Road closures are put in place for a reason, according to the Dodge County Sheriff's Office. Whether it’s fresh concrete, construction crews, unsafe road conditions, or other hazards.

In this case, the driver was cited for failure to obey a sign, a violation of Wisconsin State Statute 346.04.

Driving around a road-closed sign can result in a $175.30 forfeiture and three points against your driver’s license, according to the Dodge County Sheriff's Office.

Ignoring a road closed sign can damage your vehicle, put construction workers at risk, lead to costly repairs and create additional hazards.
