A 66-year-old Illinois man was killed after a truck accident occurred on Highway 41 just south of Townline Road.

According to officials with Wisconsin State Patrol, the man was heading southbound on the highway when his vehicle veered off the side of the road and struck a highway fence. It is unknown at this time what caused the man to lose control of the vehicle.

He was the sole occupant in the car and was unresponsive when rescue crews arrived at the scene. He was later pronounced dead at St. Agnes Hospital. Police are investigating to determine if he was killed from injuries sustained in the accident or a medical condition.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

According to the Department of Transportation, traffic accidents kill more teens than any other cause of death across the nation and in the state of Wisconsin.

Last year in Wisconsin, 57 teens were killed in traffic accidents and 6,189 teens were injured. The governor of Wisconsin has deemed this week Teen Driver Safety Week in order to remind teen drivers to be sensible while operating a motor vehicle.

Officials are using this week to remind teen drivers to be drive less aggressively, to not text while driving and to wear a seat belt. Teens are involved in fatal car accidents four times more likely then adult drivers, mainly because they are inexperienced.
