Editor’s note: the following information has been released by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
Correction: an earlier headline read “Train strikes car,” while the press release reads: “vehicle.” The headline has been corrected. Fort Atkinson Online regrets the error.
Sheriff Paul Milbrath reports that on today’s date, Nov. 10, at 1:24 p.m., deputies responded to a single vehicle versus train crash on River Valley Road in the town of Ixonia.
