On Sept. 29, at approximately 2:31 p.m. the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office began receiving 911 calls regarding a crash at the intersection of STH 73 and CTH AW involving two-tractor trailer units. Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputies arrived on scene at 2:33 p.m.
Upon arrival they found that a black 2010 Peterbilt tractor trailer that had been westbound on CTH AW, stopped at the stop sign waiting to turn south on STH 73. A second tractor trailer, a white 2014 Volvo, was also westbound on CTH AW. It came up behind the Black Peterbilt and did not stop, subsequently rear-ending the stopped vehicle.
