Rock County Sheriff’s officials are reconstructing the scene of two separate accidents on Highway 14 East of Janesville.

The first accident was a fatal rollover, where a vehicle driven by an Illinois man left the road and struck a tree. The driver was killed.

The second occurred while police were working to reconstruct the scene of the first accident. A school bus struck the rear end of a pickup truck that police believe had slowed down to view the accident. The truck was pushed into the oncoming lane of traffic, where it collided with another car.

The driver of the truck, along with a passenger and two children riding in the other car, were received minor injuries. Sheriff’s Captain Gary Groelle says some children on the school bus also had minor injuries.

Highway 14 was closed for several hours Wednesday for the accident reconstruction.
