OUTAGAMIE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – An Appleton man is dead after a crash in the Town of Center Tuesday afternoon.
The Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office says that the Appleton man “failed to yield” to a pickup truck that had the right of way at an Outagamie County intersection.
The sheriff’s office says that it was dispatched to the intersection of County Trunk S and County Trunk A around 1:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Evidence reveals that a 60-year-old Shiocton man driving a pickup truck southbound on A, approaching S. At the same time, a 58-year-old Appleton man was driving westbound on S, approaching a stop sign at A, but he failed to stop. The pickup truck, which had the right of way, then hit the car.
The driver of the pickup truck sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The driver of the car died on the scene.
The crash closed the intersection for approximately three and a half hours, though it is now open.
The sheriff’s office says that alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, but the incident remains under investigation.
