A 53-year-old Fond du Lac woman who was heading east had to swerve onto the shoulder of the road to avoid her and lost control. She was killed when her vehicle collided head-on with one driven by a a 41 year-old man from St. Cloud. The woman was not wearing her seat belt and was ejected. The man was not injured.
The woman whose erratic driving caused the accident kept going, and was pulled over near Waupun. Olig said witnesses report she was passing vehicles both before and after the fatal accident, which was reported at 5:31 a.m. The woman had just moved to Plymouth from Texas and was on her way to work in Beaver Dam.
