Crawford County, WI (May 12, 2025) – Emergency crews responded Sunday to a vehicle crash with injuries at the intersection of Hwy 61 and Childs Hollow Rd, located in a rural stretch of Crawford County. The incident prompted the dispatch of Boscobel Fire and EMS shortly after the crash was reported.
Upon arrival, responders located a vehicle off the roadway with injured occupants. The number of individuals involved and the extent of their injuries have not yet been confirmed by officials, but medical care was administered at the scene and additional support may have been required.

Rural Roadway Accidents in Southwestern Wisconsin
Crashes on rural highways like Hwy 61 in Crawford County are a recurring safety concern throughout southwestern Wisconsin. These routes often feature sharp curves, changing elevation, and inconsistent lighting—all factors that can increase the likelihood of accidents, particularly in low-visibility or high-speed conditions.
The intersection at Childs Hollow Rd, a connector in a lightly populated area, is not heavily trafficked, which often leads drivers to lower their guard. However, such rural junctions can be deceptively dangerous, especially when combined with inclement weather, mechanical issues, or distracted driving.
Victims of rural crashes often face longer wait times for emergency response due to the remote nature of these areas. That makes it all the more important for passing motorists to stay alert and render aid when safe and necessary. Once on scene, fire and EMS crews work swiftly to stabilize patients and coordinate transport to medical facilities that may be miles away.
For those injured, the recovery journey frequently involves more than just physical healing. Financial strain, lost income, and emotional trauma are common, particularly when long travel distances complicate access to care.
