A 29-year-old woman from Baraboo was killed after a deer that had been hit by another vehicle going the opposite direction ended up in the woman’s direction, damaging her windshield and causing her to drive into a house in the Town of Greenfield Wednesday night.
According to the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office, the county’s dispatch center was notified of a single-vehicle crash at around 8:35 p.m. Reports indicated that the vehicle was traveling west on Hwy 33 near the Hwy X intersection when it left the road and ultimately damaging a house.
Multiple sheriff’s deputies, along with Baraboo Fire and EMS, responded to the scene. The woman was the sole occupant of the vehicle. It was determined that a deer, struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound on Hwy 33, had entered the compartment of the woman’s vehicle, which was traveling westbound.
When the deer entered the woman’s vehicle, the woman sustained life-threatening injuries. The residence sustained damage, but no one was inside at the time of the crash.
The name of the deceased driver is pending notification of the family.

At approximately 10:56pm, on Sunday, August 3rd, Police and Rescue units were dispatched to the area of State Highway 23 and Broadway Road for a single vehicle accident. A passerby had observed a crashed vehicle and an individual lying in the roadway and called 9-1-1 before attempting to render aid to the individual.
Upon arrival of emergency units, the driver of the vehicle was found to be deceased from injuries sustained during the crash and subsequent ejection.
The crash investigation revealed that the vehicle was travelling eastbound on State Highway 23 and failed to negotiate a curve near its intersection with Broadway Road. The vehicle left the roadway, rolled, and the driver was ejected. There were no other occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.
The identity of the deceased driver will not be released at this time, pending notification of family.
