Ottawa, WI (September 25, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash on Highway 67 just south of Countryside Ln resulted in injuries Tuesday morning, drawing a swift response from emergency crews in the Town of Ottawa. The crash occurred shortly before 6:50 a.m. and involved sufficient impact to trigger airbag deployment in at least one of the vehicles.
One or more individuals were injured as a result of the collision. Paramedics arrived promptly and provided on-site treatment before transporting those hurt to area hospitals for further evaluation. Both vehicles sustained damage, and the scene was partially blocked while first responders worked to clear debris and assist the injured.
The early morning crash contributed to traffic delays on southbound Hwy 67 as authorities directed vehicles around the incident. Preliminary details regarding the cause of the collision have not yet been released, but officers at the scene began their investigation immediately, documenting vehicle positions and gathering witness statements.
At this time, the extent of the victims’ injuries has not been disclosed. The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office is leading the ongoing investigation.
We extend our sincere hopes for a full and fast recovery to all those affected.
Car Accidents in Wisconsin
Tuesday’s crash south of Countryside Ln illustrates how quickly routine commutes can turn dangerous — especially along rural stretches of Hwy 67, where speed limits are higher and visibility can be limited by terrain or weather. Early morning hours often bring unique challenges such as low light, glare, or fog, increasing the risk of collisions during peak travel times.
When airbags deploy in a crash, it is typically a sign of moderate to severe impact. Injuries in such crashes often include concussions, chest trauma, or fractures — especially if seatbelts tighten rapidly or the body is jolted forcefully. Quick response from paramedics is crucial to stabilizing victims and preventing complications, particularly in rural areas where hospital access may require longer transport times.
Ottawa and other parts of Waukesha County are no strangers to high-speed collisions, especially on roads like Hwy 67 that connect commuters and local traffic with surrounding towns. The presence of two damaged vehicles and confirmed injuries in this crash calls attention to the importance of attentive driving — particularly at intersections or driveways like Countryside Ln, where turns and merges are common.
In the aftermath of a collision, injured drivers and passengers may face difficult questions about medical care, insurance coverage, and legal options. Even when fault is unclear, documenting the crash and seeking professional guidance early on can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes.
