Sheriff's Office: Speed, alcohol to blame in Wisconsin crash that killed one man
LITTLE BLACK, Wis. (WFRV) – One man is dead following a crash Sunday morning in Wisconsin that authorities say was caused by speed and alcohol.
According to a release from the Taylor County Sheriff's Office, Deputies responded at 6:15 a.m. to reports of a single-vehicle crash on Gibson Drive in the Town of Little Black with an injured man appearing to be ejected from his vehicle.
Deputies and other emergency responders arrived at the scene, where they found a black Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck overturned on its roof in a ditch with extensive damage to all areas.

Nearby, officials say they found the driver of the vehicle, 28-year-old Eric James Doberstein from Withee, dead at the scene.
A preliminary investigation determined that the Dodge truck had been going north on Gibson Drive at a high rate of speed when it veered into the east ditch and hit a driveway embankment before going airborne and landing in a field where it overturned and came to a rest on its top.
Deputies suggest speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. No other information is available, and an investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Dodge Challenger Fleeing Trooper Wrecks Out At 160 MPH
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Running from police is a dumb and selfish thing to do, but this Dodge Challenger driver learned that lesson the hard way. Dashcam footage obtained from Arkansas State Police shows the Mopar muscle car flee from a traffic stop, only to wreck out at 160 mph, ejecting the not entirely sure what the initial stop was for, but we're going to guess it was speeding. In the footage, you can see the trooper is sitting blacked out on the side of the highway before he flips on his lights, then pulls over the Challenger. As you already know, the guy did the dumb little trick of waiting until the trooper was walking up to his vehicle before he sped off, tires squealing. The guy must've thought with the higher-powered muscle car, there was no way the trooper could catch him. For the first while in the footage that seems correct. The suspect driver gets off the main highway and turns on a dark, rough rural road, speeding along like a demon. At one point, the pursuing trooper catches air, which seems to scare him. But he presses on, seeing the Dodge's taillights in the distance. Not that we're fans of when criminals black out while running from police, but this would've been a great time for that trick. Of course, the guy might not have been able to see where he was going. The chase continues on a much nicer two-lane road. That smoother surface must've given the suspect more confidence, because he pushes the Mopar to 160 mph. Even on a well-lit, multi-lane interstate with no traffic around that's a dangerous proposition. After all, at that speed if you make one wrong move, you're done for. The guy does and his muscle car leaves the roadway behind, exploding into thousands of pieces. He must've not been wearing a seatbelt, because the trooper couldn't find the driver for a while. As backup arrives, troopers figure the driver took off on foot. But they later find him, deceased. We guess the guy really didn't want to go back to prison and he made sure he didn't.
