At about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, January 28, 2026, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Communication Center received a report of a semi rolled over in the northbound lanes on Highway 151 near Highway 26, south of Waupun.

Waupun Fire Department, LifeStar EMS, Waupun Police and Fond du Lac County and Dodge County Sheriff’s Deputies initially responded to the crash.

Upon arrival, it was learned there were no injuries, but the driver of the semi was trapped in the cab of the truck. Also there was two other vehicles damaged in the crash with one reported wedged under the semi.

The semi is reportedly blocking both northbound lanes of the highway.

The driver reported the trailer of the semi was loaded with 80,000 pounds of beer kegs.

U.S. 151 northbound is currently closed between the State Highway 26 off-ramp and on-ramp. Traffic is being detoured off the highway and immediately back on at this location. Motorists may experience minor delays and possible backups while crossing State Highway 26. This detour is expected to last for a lengthy period of time as the trailer will need to be offloaded before it can be removed.

This is a breaking news story and KFIZ will update as we get more details.
