12-28-22 fdl county sheriff’s deputies responded to more than 60 traffic crashes during last week’s winter storm

The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office says fortunately nobody was seriously injured following dozens of crashes on area roadways during last week’s winter snow and wind storm.   Sheriff’s captain Bill Tadych says deputies were busy responding to several crashes on slippery roads last Thursday night and Friday.   “Friday I think there were over 20 accidents and runoffs,”  Tadych told WFDL news.  “For the whole winter event I counted over 60 runoffs or accidents.”   Deputies also responded to several occupied vehicle assists.  “Because of the cold temperatures vehicles weren’t running.  Some were stranded on the side of the road, drivers that were stuck in snow drifts in the middle of the road.”   Tadych says the strong winds made it difficult for county highway plows to keep up.
