Bale of hay blamed for serious crash on State Highway 93 in Wisconsin
CHIMNEY ROCK, Wis. (WFRV) – A bale of hay that fell off a trailer is being blamed for a major crash Tuesday afternoon on Wisconsin State Highway 93 (STH 93), leaving a semi-truck driver critically injured. According to the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a report of a semi-truck crashing into a large hay bale that had fallen from a trailer. The crash caused both lanes of STH 93 to be blocked. Elderly woman found dead in Wisconsin after Silver Alert issued Authorities say a truck pulling a gooseneck trailer loaded with large square hay bales was heading north on the highway when a gust of wind dislodged one of the bales. As the semi-truck approached from the opposite direction, the hay bale struck its windshield, causing significant damage. The impact led the semi-truck driver to lose control and jackknife across both lanes. The driver was airlifted to a nearby hospital with critical injuries. A dog riding in the semi's cab was unharmed and has since been taken to the Trempealeau County Humane Association until the driver's son can retrieve it. No injuries were reported in the vehicle hauling the hay. The driver of that vehicle was cited for traffic violations. Wisconsin man sentenced to 20 years for brutal 2022 attack on woman and children in Sturgeon Bay STH 93 remained closed for more than two hours as crews cleared debris and removed the semi-truck. Authorities remind drivers to ensure all cargo is properly secured to avoid preventable tragedies on Wisconsin roads. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trempealeau County Sheriff's Office holds Active Threat training
TREMPEAULEAU, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – The Trempealeau County Officer Training is seeing officers from places like Arcadia, Holmen, and Galesville come together at the Whitehall Fire Department to simulate how to stop an active shooting. Patrol Sergeant Andrew Bilski with the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Office says training events like these are held to make sure everyone has a basic understanding of what they need to do if something like this were to happen, 'They're going to be expected to figure out where the threat is, go to the threat, take care of the threat if the threat still exists, and then secondary considerations of giving medical treatment to people, evacuating people, and making sure we have out other resources such as fire and EMS coming.' Those with the local police departments say the opportunity to train with other departments is valuable. Sgt. Matthew Wright, with the Trempealeau Police Department, says, 'This is something that obviously no one ever wants to see, but we want our officers to be fully prepared if the event does occur. We want them to be prepared to handle it appropriately and keep everybody safe. Lt. Aaron Hintz, with the Holmen Police Department, adds, 'We have a working relationship with Trempealeau County. If they need help from us to try or to find someone down by us, we'll do that. They'll do the same for us. On a large-scale incident, which we hope never happens, but should something like that happen, we're going to be coming to help each other out. Getting together and training is very beneficial.' While Trempealeau County officials say they don't see mass casualty incidents often, Patrol Sgt. Bilski says all agencies need to be prepared for anything, 'This is something that's just like regular firearms training, or legal update training. It's a skill that needs to be practiced in order to maintain and do as well as we can for if and when an actual incident like this were to ever occur.' The training will continue with similar training exercises. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
