A Manitowoc man has passed away after a single-vehicle crash yesterday.
The Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the scene just after 5:30 p.m. yesterday. The crash occurred at the intersection of State Highway 42 and County Highway C in the Town of Newton.
Early into the investigation, Sheriff Dan Hartwig said that a 2006 Chevy Malibu, driven by the 25-year-old victim, was traveling eastbound on County Road C when it left the roadway and entered the ditch.
The vehicle then overturned and came to a rest in the intersection.
During the crash, the 25-year-old man was ejected from the vehicle and succumbed to his injuries at the scene despite life-saving efforts.
Sheriff Hartwig said the sheriff’s office extends its deepest condolences to the family and all those affected by the tragic incident.
The crash remains under investigation, and no further information is being released at this time.
The Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office also received help from the Newton Fire Department, Newton First Responders, the Manitowoc County Coroner’s Office, the Manitowoc County Dispatch Center, the Manitowoc County Highway Department, Manitowoc Fire Rescue, and Hi-Way 42 Garage and Towing.
