Stay Out Stay Alive Fatal Accident Summaries
for 2007



July 5, 2007

A 22 year-old man was killed when his truck plunged over the edge of a Springfield, Wisconsin quarry. Five others were injured when the vehicle fell 70 feet into the quarry after they watched a July Fourth fireworks display last night.

Authorities believe the driver might have been mistaken about his location on the property. The entrance to the quarry is blocked by a locked gate.

All five passengers, aged 20-22, were taken to University Hospital in Madison, where one is listed in critical condition.
