A 37 year-old Wausau man plead guilty this week to his fourth DWI conviction after he was arrested for drunk driving and texting last October.

The man hit a squad car at a stoplight on Bridge Street when he was texting on his cellphone. The officer found empty beer cans and an uncased rifle with a bullet nearby in the front seat. Uncased bows and arrows were also found in the suspect’s back seat.

A breathalyzer test showed that his blood alcohol level was above the legal limit of 0.08, but due to his prior convictions the man cannot have a blood alcohol content over 0.04.

A snowmobiler was killed Friday afternoon in Milton Township after colliding into a cable strung between two fence posts.

The 28 year-old man from St. Cloud, Minnesota was ejected from the snowmobile upon hitting the cable and emergency responders say he was unresponsive when they arrived. He was transported to Winona Community Memorial Hospital and later pronounced dead.

According to the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office, alcohol and speed are believed to have been a factor in the crash. Another snowmobiler, 38, was there at the scene but was not injured.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is currently investigating the crash.

Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the victim.

A car that crashed into a Green Bay home early Sunday morning has left the driver and passenger in critical condition.

When emergency responders arrived on the scene, the vehicle was almost completely inside the home and the front wheels were falling through into the basement. The two people inside the car were taken to St. Vincent Hospital with serious injuries.

The two homeowners were asleep when the accident occurred and were not injured. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. Due to the extensive damage the car caused, the two people will not be able to live there while the investigation is ongoing.

For four years in a row, Wisconsin traffic deaths were fewer than 600 in 2011.

Last year was the first time in 84 years that the state had seen vehicular fatalities under 600 for four years in a row; the last time being in 1924-1927. A total of 569 people were killed on Wisconsin roadways last year, seven more than in 2010 but 59 fewer than the state’s five-year average.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicular-related deaths slightly increased with motorcycle deaths decreasing by 18 percent. The director of DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Safety states that most of these deaths could have been avoided and that many of the fatal crashes were due to bad driving habits and poor decisions.
