Kewaunee County, WI (June 6, 2026) – An afternoon crash involving two vehicles at the intersection of State Hwy 29 and County Road AB in the Town of Montpelier left six people injured on Friday, June 5.
Deputies with the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department said the crash happened around 4:29 p.m. Preliminary findings indicate a 29-year-old woman from Manitowoc was driving northbound on County Road AB and entered the intersection after stopping at the controlled crossing. Her vehicle then collided with a westbound vehicle traveling on State Highway 29.
The second vehicle was operated by a 16-year-old boy from Kewaunee and carried four additional occupants. All six people involved were taken to medical facilities in Green Bay for treatment. Officials said the injuries ranged from minor to suspected serious. We hope those injured recover fully and quickly.
What Investigators Commonly Review After Intersection Crashes
Intersection crashes are often reviewed by examining traffic control devices, vehicle approach direction, and right-of-way movement. Stop signs and controlled crossings are especially important when determining how vehicles entered the intersection before contact occurred.
Investigators may analyze skid marks, debris placement, and vehicle damage to reconstruct the sequence of movement. Visibility, traffic speed, and roadway layout can also influence how quickly drivers are able to react when crossing or turning through an intersection.
When several people are hospitalized, investigators often document seating positions and restraint use to better understand injury patterns. Witness accounts and roadway evidence may help clarify how both vehicles reached the same point at the same time.
