Sheriff's Office: Speed, alcohol to blame in Wisconsin crash that killed one man
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.

Fiery Florida crash leaves 1 teen dead, 3 injured; 17-year-old charged
SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — One teenager is dead, three more are injured, and one is facing felony charges after a fiery crash in Sumter County, the Florida Highway Patrol said. On Monday afternoon, a Dodge Charger was traveling south on I-75 'recklessly and at a high rate of speed.' The driver was a 17-year-old boy from Inverness, and there were four boys in the car with him, ages 13, 15, 16 and 17. FHP said the driver was attempting to overtake slower traffic, swerved to avoid a collision, and went off the road. The Dodge struck a tree on the side of the highway and erupted in flames, after which the driver got out of the car, removed the license plate, and fled on foot. Troopers and Sumter County Sheriff's deputies tracked him to a chicken coop on a nearby property and took him into custody. All four passengers and the driver suffered injuries in the crash and were taken to local hospitals, where one, a 16-year-old, later died. The driver and two other passengers suffered minor injuries, and the fifth passenger suffered serious injuries, FHP said. The teen driver has been charged with multiple felonies, including vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash involving death. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

2 charged in connection with Eagan street racing crash that killed 2
Two people face charges in connection with a high-speed crash that killed two young men, which authorities said occurred during a street race. Melody Little, 24 of West St. Paul, and Jordan Weiland, a 20-year-old from White Bear Lake, are each charged with two counts of third-degree murder and two counts of criminal vehicular homicide, according to court documents filed Thursday. The fatal crash happened in Eagan, Minnesota, on June 14. According to a criminal complaint, responding police found three vehicles: a Jeep that was split in half, a Honda with "significant damage" and an undamaged Dodge. Investigators said the three vehicles were going from a "car meet up" in South St. Paul to another in Eagan when the Jeep and Honda lost control on Highway 55. Both went over the concrete median, and the Jeep hit a pole. Police identified Little and Weiland as the drivers of the Dodge and Honda, respectively. Weiland left the scene in another vehicle and police later found him at a hospital, the complaint states. Both people in the Jeep — 19-year-old Reed Schultz and 18-year-old Finnian Cronin — were unresponsive and taken to a hospital. Schultz died shortly after arrival, and Cronin died of his injuries on July 1. Witnesses told police the cars were going more than 100 mph before the crash and presumed they were racing. Videos taken inside the Dodge and Honda confirm each car was going about 110 mph, the complaint states. Little and Weiland both denied they were racing when interviewed by police, though Weiland "agreed that his actions were eminently dangerous," the complaint states. Finnian Cronin's mother Teresa Cronin said his death "is just earth-shattering and life-changing for all of us." The family has received an outpouring of support from the community. "One night, driving home from the hospital, I said to Teresa, 'Do you have any anger towards anyone?' And she said, 'No, I just, my heart breaks for the parents of the other kid,'" said Finnian Cronin's father, Chris Cronin. "Just a terribly unfortunate thing that happened to a bunch of kids that made a poor decision." Note: The video above originally aired July 21, 2025.
