Southern WI (April 22, 2025) – A multi-vehicle accident with injuries occurred Tuesday on Interstate 90 Westbound in southern Wisconsin, involving two cars and a semi-truck, with additional vehicles stopped on the shoulder and median. The semi reportedly fled the scene, prompting a continued investigation by authorities.
The incident occurred in the 1800 block of I-90 WB, sometime during the day on April 22. Initial reports indicate that at least two passenger vehicles and a semi-truck were involved in the collision, which resulted in injuries requiring emergency medical assistance. Five cars were observed pulled over on the right shoulder, and another on the median side, illustrating the scale of the incident.
Emergency responders arrived promptly, treating injured individuals and securing the area to prevent further harm. Details regarding the extent of injuries have not yet been publicly released. However, due to the number of vehicles involved, authorities expect the recovery and investigation process to be extensive.
Of major concern is that the semi-truck reportedly involved in the crash left the scene before law enforcement could engage with the driver. Hit-and-run situations involving commercial vehicles are especially serious, given the high potential for injury and liability.
An investigation is now underway to identify the truck and its driver, with assistance potentially being sought from traffic cameras, eyewitness reports, and shipping records.
Our thoughts are with those injured in the collision, and we commend the first responders who acted quickly to assist amid a complex scene.
Semi-Involved Crashes and Hit-and-Runs in Wisconsin
Collisions involving semi-trucks are particularly hazardous due to the size and momentum of these vehicles. When a semi is involved in a crash and then leaves the scene—as reported on I-90—it not only complicates the investigation but significantly increases the emotional and logistical toll on the victims.
Interstate 90, a major corridor through Wisconsin, sees a high volume of commercial and passenger traffic. Crashes in areas like the 1800 block are often exacerbated by speed and congestion, particularly in the westbound lanes where visibility may be affected by curves, barriers, or heavy truck flow.
Hit-and-run incidents involving commercial drivers can stem from a variety of factors, including panic, unawareness of the impact, or efforts to avoid liability. Regardless of the reason, leaving the scene of an accident is illegal and deeply concerning, especially when injuries are involved.
For those injured in this kind of incident, obtaining justice and compensation may require a thorough legal and investigative effort. Victims may face mounting medical expenses, vehicle loss, and long-term trauma—all while law enforcement works to locate the responsible party.
