FLORENCE, Wis. -- A Gladstone man has been identified as the victim of a fatal traffic crash in Spread Eagle, Wis., on Friday.
Keith Allen, 63, was trying to avoid a collision with a vehicle that had crossed the center line into his lane of traffic on U.S. 2 near North Cosgrove Lake Road, according to the Florence County Sheriff's Office.
The vehicle was driven by a 16-year-old male whose name will not be released, the sheriff's office said in a news release posted on its Facebook page. The teen was treated at Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson for injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.
Investigation is ongoing but inattentive driving appears be a contributing factor in the crash, which was reported at about 11 a.m., said Chief Deputy Teresa Chrisman.
