Oak Grove, WI (August 23, 2026) – A 68-year-old woman was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash at County Highway A and County Highway W in the Town of Oak Grove. The crash occurred around 7:55 p.m. on Friday, August 21, according to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office.

Two juvenile passengers in the Ford suffered minor injuries and were transported to Marshfield Medical Center. The 71-year-old Milton man driving the semi was evaluated for injuries and released at the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
We wish all those injured a speedy recovery.
What Can Happen When a Vehicle Fails to Yield?
Failure to yield at a stop sign can lead to severe intersection crashes when another vehicle has the right of way. The resulting impact can be particularly serious when a passenger vehicle strikes a much larger commercial truck. Vehicle speed, impact location, and the size difference between vehicles can affect the outcome.
Children and adults can suffer different types of injuries in a two-vehicle crash. Seat belts and child safety restraints can help reduce movement during an impact, while airbags may provide additional protection. Medical evaluations can identify injuries ranging from minor trauma to more serious conditions requiring hospital care.
