One Person in Critical Condition From Car Crash on Hwy 29

A two car crash on Highway 29 near the 120th Ave. exit sent four people to the hospital Saturday afternoon.

The Marathon County Sheriff's Department says Jacob Dennis-Oehling, 19, of Whitewater was traveling westbound on 29 around 3 p.m. when he crossed the median and collided with a vehicle traveling eastbound, that of Paul Werni, 49.

One of the passengers in Dennis-Oehling's car, Michael Borglin, 21, is in critical condition at this time.

Rib Mountain Fire Department responded to the scene. They believe speed and weather conditions were a main factor in the crash.

A mix of rain, snow, and sleet is moving through the central Wisconsin area causing slippery roads.

    I think Laurie doesn't understand the severity of this situation and how rude she is being for calling the driver of this particular situation rude. No one can control the weather, and hydroplaning is a scary situation that can happen at any speed during icy conditions. Yes, people need to drive with caution during snow, but I believe that post was unnecessary.

    I agree with Laurie. People just need to learn how to slow down. We go through this every time it snows, too. It's just absolutely nuts.

    People just do not slow down. They are rude and don't care if their carelessness on the road hurts anyone else. SLOW DOWN!!!!!
