A 37 year-old man plead guilty this week to his fourth drunk driving conviction after he was arrested in October.

The man was pulled over after he rear-ended a police car at a stop light on Bridge Street. The officer found empty beer cans and an uncased rifle in the suspect’s back seat. Further investigation lead to the discovery of uncased bows and arrows. He is facing charges of illegal firearm possession by a felon.

Preliminary breathalyzer tests revealed that the man had a 0.132 blood alcohol content, over the legal limit of 0.08. However, due to his prior convictions he cannot have a blood alcohol content higher than 0.04.

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office is saying that speed and alcohol are believed to be major factors in a fatal snowmobile crash that happened in Milton Township Friday afternoon.

A 28 year-old man from St. Cloud, Minnesota was riding a snowmobile on private property when he struck a cable that was strung between two fence posts. He was ejected from the vehicle. Emergency crews say the man was unresponsive when they arrived. The man was taken to Winona Community Memorial Hospital where he was later died.

The man’s friend, 38, was there at the scene and was not hurt. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is currently investigating the crash.

Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the victim.

A vehicle carrying two people crashed into a Green Bay home in the early morning hours on Sunday.

Authorities believe drinking and speed were a factor in the crash. The two people living in the home were unharmed, but their house is completely destroyed. When rescue crews arrived, the car was almost all the way in the house with the front wheels falling into the basement.

The two men in the car suffered serious injuries and are in critical condition at the hospital. Law enforcement believe the driver was traveling at 70 mph before hitting the home. The couple is unable to stay in the house and authorities have listed it as condemned.

In 2011, car-related fatalities in Wisconsin were under 600 for the fourth consecutive year.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, 569 people died on state roadways. This number is seven more than in 2010, but 59 fewer than the state’s five-year average. The last time Wisconsin had traffic fatalities under 600 was 84 years ago, from 1924-1927.

Motorcycle deaths dropped by 18 percent, down from 103 to 85. Unfortunately, pedestrian, bicycle, and car-related fatalities slightly increased.

The director of DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Safety states that there is no specific cause or factor for the decrease in traffic deaths, but claims that most of the fatal accidents were caused by irresponsible driving habits and bad decisions.
