Wausau Pilot & Review
A 59-year-old man was airlifted from the scene of a single-vehicle crash Saturday near Merrill, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department. His current condition is unclear.
The crash was reported at about 4:15 p.m. on March 2 on CTH C between State Road 17 and Norwegian Road. After crews performed lifesaving measures, the man was taken by helicopter to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
The roadway was closed for more than four hours while the crash was investigated but has since reopened. The Wisconsin State Patrol performed crash reconstruction at the site.
No other passengers or vehicles appear to have been involved in the crash. The name of the man, who is from Merrill, has not yet been released.
This is a developing story.
