TOWN OF COOPERSTOWN, WI (WTAQ) – A crash on Interstate 43 in Manitowoc County has killed a milk truck driver and sent two others to the hospital.
Authorities say it happened around 1:45 p.m. Friday just north of Highway 147.
A northbound vehicle had slowed down for traffic that was backed up from a crash about 2 hours earlier. A milk truck rear-ended that vehicle, sending it into the ditch.
The milk truck went into the median and rolled over. The driver, a 66-year-old from Manitowoc, died at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 59-year-old Pleasant Prairie man, was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. A 10-year-old passenger was also taken to the hospital as a precaution.
