Semi driver suffered serious injuries

A semi driver in Kenosha County, Wisconsin suffered serious injuries on Friday morning, June 30th after losing control of his rig and crashing in Somers. According to officials, the incident occurred just before 10:30 a.m. on 7th Street.

After conducting an initial investigation, authorities determined that a semi tractor and trailer were traveling east on 7th Street when it suddenly veered off the roadway for unknown reasons. The vehicle then collided with a utility pole and two trees. As a result of the impact, power lines fell onto the semi, causing both the vehicle and the surrounding field to catch fire.

In response to this unfortunate accident, We Energies and the Wisconsin State Patrol also arrived at the scene alongside local officials. Their presence was crucial in ensuring that necessary measures were taken to address any potential hazards caused by downed power lines or other safety concerns.

The injured driver was immediately provided with medical attention and transported to receive further treatment for their serious injuries sustained during the crash. Authorities have not yet released any additional information regarding their current condition or specific details about what may have caused them to lose control of their rig.

As investigations into this incident continue, it is important for drivers in Kenosha County and surrounding areas to remain cautious while operating large vehicles like semis or trucks. Accidents involving these types of vehicles can often lead to severe consequences due to their size and weight.
