TOWN OF GIBSON, WI (WTAQ) – A crash in Manitowoc County on Monday leads to the arrest of a Green Bay man.
According to the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, the crash happened on Highway 147 in the Town of Gibson around 5:45 p.m. One of the five passengers was trapped inside the vehicle when deputies arrived.
The driver had run away, but with the help of a police dog, officials found him hiding at a home near the scene.
Investigators say the driver, 30-year-old Daniel Munoz, was going westbound when he lost control, went into the ditch on the right-hand side of the road and struck a power pole.
Officials say all 5 passengers — a 17-year-old Green Bay boy, a 17-year-old Green Bay girl, a 21-year-old Green Bay man, a 26-year-old Oshkosh woman and a 32-year-old Green Bay woman — were taken to a hospital. None of their injuries are believed to be life-threatening.
Munoz was arrested and jailed on charges of causing great bodily harm, causing injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle, and operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license and causing great bodily harm.
He’s expected to appear in court Tuesday.
