Washington County, WI — March 27, 2023, an Addison man was killed following a multi-vehicle accident involving a truck on Highway 33.
Preliminary details about the accident say that it happened at around 1:15 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 33 and Alpine Drive.
It appears that a 61-year-old Addison man was in a vehicle going eastbound on the highway. While slowing to make a turn, another vehicle rear-ended the Addison man, forcing his vehicle into the oncoming lanes where it crashed head-on with a semi-truck. The Addison man suffered fatal injuries as a result.

Generally speaking, a rear-end collision doesn’t happen unless the rear driver did something wrong. It is possible there were extenuating circumstances that driver couldn’t avoid, but things like distraction, speeding, fatigue, and following too closely are just too common to ignore. But with a scene as chaotic as a crash involving a commercial truck, I can’t help wondering if authorities are able to dedicate the proper time and resources to ensure nothing important slips through the cracks. If nothing else, the victim’s loved ones deserve to know they’re getting the full story.
