Greenville, WI (June 10, 2026) – A woman died, and a man was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries following a single-vehicle crash in Greenville on Tuesday night, June 9. Deputies were called to the area of W Wisconsin Ave and Glennview Dr at approximately 10:25 p.m. after an iPhone’s automated crash-detection alert was received.
According to investigators, a minivan was traveling east on W Wisconsin Ave when it lost control and entered a ditch. The vehicle continued through the ditch, re-entered the roadway, crossed into the opposite lane, and entered another ditch before striking a tree.
The 64-year-old male driver from Grand Chute was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries. A 58-year-old female passenger, also from Grand Chute, died at the crash location. The names of those involved have not yet been released.
The roadway was closed for several hours while crews worked in the area before reopening. Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor, according to investigators. The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under review.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the woman who lost her life.
Why Loss-of-Control Crashes Can Become Multi-Stage Impact Events
Loss-of-control crashes can involve a series of movements rather than a single point of contact. When a vehicle leaves the roadway, terrain features such as ditches, slopes, and roadside obstacles can influence its path before it comes to a stop.
In some cases, a vehicle may re-enter traffic lanes after leaving the roadway, increasing the risk of additional roadway conflicts. Each transition between roadway and off-road surfaces can affect vehicle stability and steering control.
Factors such as speed, driver impairment, and road conditions are examined when reconstructing these types of crashes. Investigators typically analyze vehicle damage patterns, tire tracks, and final resting positions to understand how the sequence of movements unfolded.
