A traffic accident in Manitowoc County has claimed the life of a 78-year-old Whitelaw man.
Manitowoc County Sheriff Dan Hartwig said that EMS and Manitowoc County Sheriff Deputies were dispatched to County Highway “T” near Shimon Road in the Town of Kussuth at about 6:50 Wednesday morning. Reports said that a 2106 Ford F-150 Pickup eastbound on “T” and driven by the Whitelaw man crossed the T-intersection with Shimon Road, continuing into the east ditch, struck a wooden livestock fence and collided with a power pole, breaking it at the base. The truck continued over 240 feet into a field before coming to rest on its wheels.
The driver was the only person in the vehicle, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Release of the name of the victim is pending notification with the family.
