GRANT COUNTY, Wis. (WRCO / WRCE) – A two-vehicle crash on Sunday morning resulted in injury.

At approximately 8:25 a.m., the Grant County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway 18 and County Highway F in Fennimore Township. Grant County Deputies, along with emergency crews from Fennimore Fire and EMS and the Fennimore Police Department, responded to the scene.

During the investigation, it was determined that John Haas, 41 of Potosi, was traveling north on County F. As he approached the intersection with Highway 18, he failed to stop at the stop sign on F at Highway 18 and continued into the intersection.
