On July 28, 2026, at approximately 6:22am, the Grant County Dispatch Center received a report of a one vehicle crash with possible injuries on Hwy 133 near the intersection with CTH K, in Woodman Township.  

When the Deputy arrived on scene, he learned Jeffrey Mckinney, 61, of Rock Island, IL, was driving a 2020 Ford van, owned by Bonnett Wholesale Florist, northbound on HWY 133.

The vehicle sustained disabling damage, and Mckinney was transported by Boscobel EMS to Gunderson Boscobel Area Hospital for possible injuries.
