Driver Hurt In Crash Involved In Additional Altercations

Brodhead Police say a 21-year-old man hospitalized with life-threatening injuries may have been involved in several altercations before a Monday traffic accident.  Witnesses say Colton Van Marter showed them a knife after they honked at him to move forward at a McDonald’s restaurant drive-thru.  The cashier says his hand was bloody when she took his money.  He then drove to his girlfriend’s house, where they argued.  Van Marter is suspected of being drunk when he failed to stop at a stop sign and was hit by a second vehicle.  He had to be airlifted to a hospital.
