• Three-vehicle crash on snowy Wisconsin highway leads to serious injuries (wearegreenbay.com) — A 43-year-old Columbus man was seriously injured early Wednesday when his pickup lost control on snowy State Highway 28 near Kekoskee and collided with a semi. Dodge County deputies say blowing snow and poor visibility contributed to the three-vehicle crash, which closed the highway for about two and a half hours and sent another driver to the hospital.
