Quick freeze overnight causes overpasses to ice up in area

Area roadways were slippery early this morning as rainwater that pooled on roads, froze as temperatures dropped below freezing.

One of the biggest problem areas was Highway 151 in Dodge County near Waupun.

Just before 4 AM the Waupun Fire Department as well as Lifestar EMS were paged to 151 at 26 for a rollover crash in the northbound lanes. Upon getting on the scene, firefighters advised the bridge there was glare ice. While tending to the crash, another vehicle went into the ditch on the northbound side and a semi slid off the road, rolling onto it’s side in the southbound lanes.

Dodge County immediately got a salt truck out to help remedy the situation. Only minor injuries were reported in those crashes.
