Lakeside, WI (September 22, 2025) – A serious T-bone collision on Newville Rd in Lakeside sent emergency crews rushing to the scene Sunday after reports of multiple injuries, leaking vehicle fluids, and smoke coming from the wreckage. The crash caused significant roadway blockage and delays in the surrounding area.
Emergency medical personnel arrived shortly after the initial call and began treating injured individuals at the scene. At least one person sustained injuries requiring transport to a nearby medical facility for further treatment. Fire crews worked to manage leaking fluids and address concerns about smoke coming from one or more of the vehicles involved, potentially indicating risk of fire or hazardous materials.
The crash, which occurred at an unspecified intersection along Newville Rd, involved two vehicles in a broadside (T-bone) impact—often one of the most dangerous types of collisions due to limited side impact protection in most passenger vehicles. Traffic was temporarily halted as responders secured the area and removed damaged vehicles from the roadway.
Authorities are actively investigating the incident, including reviewing the right-of-way, visibility, and timing of traffic movements that may have contributed to the collision. No additional details have been released regarding the identities or conditions of those involved.
T-Bone Collisions in Wisconsin
Sunday’s T-bone crash in Lakeside underscores the serious risks associated with intersection-related accidents, particularly when drivers fail to yield or misjudge timing. Broadside collisions frequently result in serious injuries due to the vulnerable sides of most vehicles, which lack the structural protection found in front or rear impacts.
Newville Rd, like many local thoroughfares in smaller Wisconsin communities, combines residential traffic with through routes, creating conditions where visibility and speed control are vital. Accidents of this nature often happen when one vehicle attempts to cross or turn without fully recognizing oncoming traffic—a scenario that may have played a role in this crash, though details remain under investigation.
T-bone collisions are also known for producing secondary hazards, including fuel leaks, vehicle fires, or electrical shorts, all of which were noted in this incident. Firefighters’ quick action to address the smoking vehicles and leaking fluids likely prevented further damage or injury.
Local agencies may review the layout and signage at the scene of Sunday’s crash to determine whether additional safety measures—such as improved lighting, clearer signage, or signal adjustments—are warranted to prevent future incidents on Newville Rd.
For those injured in intersection crashes, the path to recovery can be complex, involving emergency care, insurance claims, vehicle replacement, and sometimes long-term medical support. Having access to accurate information and reliable guidance can make a significant difference.
