TOWN OF SHARON, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The Portage County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a road-rage incident from Thursday afternoon.
Around 3:30pm deputies responded to a crash on State Highway 66 near County Road J.
A preliminary investigation shows that a semi-truck was traveling east when it was passed by a black Volkswagen sedan also traveling east. Once the Volkswagen passed the semi, it pulled in front of it and hit its brakes for no apparent reason. The truck driver attempted to avoid a crash with the vehicle by taking evasive action.
The semi locked its brakes and veered across west-bound traffic and the north ditch. It sustained heavy front-end damage and was towed from the scene.
The other vehicle did not stop. It’s believed there was contact between the semi and Volkswagen, and that the Volkswagen sustained damage to the rear of the vehicle.
No injuries were reported.
