Winneshiek Accidents

A Winneshiek County Deputy responded to a single vehicle UTV rollover South of Ridgeway, IA on W14. The Deputy found the UTV had been rolled into the West ditch near 2307 County Road W-14 and came to a rest on its driver's side. There was nobody present at the scene. The deputy later talked to the registered owner, 36 year old Brandon Jeremy Albertson of Fort Atkinson who said he had not been driving the vehicle when it was crashed and they did not know how it got there. He also spoke to Mitchell Bruns who admitted he was a passenger in the vehicle when the crash occurred. Bruns believes he was ejected while the UTV was rolling, and sustained injuries to his head, hand, and other parts of his body. Albertson was cited for Reckless Driving and Interference With Official Acts based on Bruns’ statement that Brandon was driving and Brandon lying and failing to provide necessary information about the crash. Neither received medical treatment for their injuries.
