On Saturday, March 27, at 5:18 a.m., the Crawford County Communications Center received a report about a two-vehicle traffic crash on Highway 61 near Byers Road in the township of Scott. 

 Colton M. O’Brien, 18, Prairie du Chien, was operating a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup southbound on Highway 61 when he struck the guardrail along the southbound lane of traffic. The O’Brien vehicle became disabled in the southbound lane. Approximately two minutes after O’Brien crashed, Chasity A. Werner, 32, Boscobel, was operating a GMC Envoy southbound on Highway 61 when she crashed into the disabled and unoccupied O’Brien vehicle. The Werner vehicle came to rest along the northbound lane.

Werner was not wearing her seatbelt and was transported to the Gundersen Boscobel Area Hospital with minor injuries and was later released. O’Brien was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured. O’Brien was asked to perform standardized field sobriety tests and was subsequently placed under arrest for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence. O’Brien was also issued a citation for inattentive driving.

Assisting on scene were the Boscobel EMS, Boscobel Fire Department, Boscobel Police Department, Fry’s Towing Service and Terry’s Tire and Tow Service.
