WAUKESHA, WI — A 43-year-old Waukesha man has died after authorities say he crossed over the center line of a road, causing a two-car accident Tuesday night.

According to the Waukesha County Sheriff's office, deputies were sent to a car accident at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the area of Oakdale Drive near Hazelhurst Lane.

When deputies arrived, they learned that a vehicle traveling north on Oakdale Drive and driven by a 43-year-old Waukesha man crossed over the center line of the road and struck a vehicle traveling south on Oakdale Drive driven by a 72-year-old Waukesha man.

Authorities said the 43-year-old man was pronounced deceased as the site of the crash.
