Driver Killed in Muskego Crash Likely Suffered Medical Emergency

According to Dave Constantineau of the Muskego Police Department, a driver who died after the vehicle left Highway 36 on Thursday around 8:45 a.m. likely had a medical emergency prior to the crash.

The Muskego Police Department and Tess Corners Fire Department responded to the accident near Champions Drive. Upon arriving to the scene, responding units found a Ford Pickup truck several hundred feet off the roadway in a marshy area south of the roadway, according to a release from the department. Investigation determined that the vehicle had been westbound on before crossing the median and eastbound traffic and going off the road.  No other vehicles were involved.

Rescue personnel found the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, dead.  While the cause of the accident remains under investigation, it is believed the driver suffered a medical emergency. 

Constantineau told Muskego Patch the driver was a male in his 60s, but further identification of the driver is being withheld pending notification of relatives.
