Road closed for cleanup after semi rollover

State Highway 27 near the Utica church was closed Wednesday morning, Dec. 14, for several hours for cleanup and removal of a semi that rolled over in an accident just north of Helland Road in Utica Township Tuesday evening, Dec. 13.

According to Crawford County authorities, at about 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Shawn Marx, 41, of Westby, was traveling north on Highway 27 in a 2006 International semi, owned by Cashton Farm Supply, of Cashton, hauling grain. The semi got onto the right shoulder of the road, was unable to pull back onto the road, continued off the right shoulder, rolled and came to rest on the driver’s side. The entire  semi and trailer went off the roadway into a field.

Marx refused medical transport at the scene but was checked out on the scene for minor cuts and scrapes.

The road was not closed Tuesday night as the roadway was clear from debris. But the road needed to be closed to pull the semi up and out of the field.

Assisting at the scene was Seneca Fire Department, Seneca First Responders, Ocooch Mountain Rescue and Bobs Towing.

The accident remains under investigation.
