Evansville, WI (August 6, 2025) – A single-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon resulted in injuries after a car left the roadway and came to rest in a cornfield near the intersection of North Highway 213 and West County Trunk A in Evansville. The incident triggered a rapid response from local emergency services due to the vehicle’s off-road location and injury report.
Drivers in the area first noticed the damaged vehicle sitting deep within a cornfield adjacent to the intersection and quickly alerted authorities. Emergency crews arrived on scene and found the vehicle with visible front-end damage, indicating it had veered off the highway at speed. The driver, who appeared to be the only occupant, was evaluated and treated for injuries by paramedics from Evansville Fire and Rescue.
Medics provided on-site care and later transported the injured individual to a nearby hospital for further treatment. The extent of injuries has not yet been released, but responders confirmed that the crash caused a variety of injuries requiring medical attention.
Law enforcement temporarily restricted traffic along N Hwy 213 while crews worked to recover the vehicle and secure the area. Investigators are working to determine what caused the driver to leave the roadway, though factors such as distraction, fatigue, or road conditions may be considered.
We extend our well wishes to the injured individual and hope for a smooth recovery in the days ahead.
Rural Roadway Crashes in Wisconsin
Accidents on rural roadways—like Wednesday’s crash at N Hwy 213 and W County Trunk A in Evansville—pose distinct risks compared to city traffic incidents. With fewer visual cues, high speeds, and longer emergency response times, rural crashes often result in more serious injuries, particularly when vehicles leave the roadway.
In this case, the driver’s car ended up in a cornfield, which suggests a sudden loss of control or possible overcorrection. These types of incidents are not uncommon on Wisconsin’s rural highways, especially where long stretches of road can lead to driver fatigue or distraction. Limited lighting, curves in the road, and unexpected obstacles like wildlife also contribute to the risks.
When a vehicle exits the roadway and comes to rest in a field or ditch, occupants may experience additional trauma from uneven terrain and lack of impact cushioning. The need for rapid medical response is heightened in such scenarios, as victims are often hard to locate or reach quickly depending on the landscape.
Drivers traveling through agricultural regions or on state highways should remain alert, especially during harvest seasons when field visibility can be obstructed and roadside activity increases. Preventive measures such as limiting distractions, reducing speed on unfamiliar roads, and staying vigilant for fatigue can help reduce the risk of single-vehicle crashes.
