Woman in Vernon County Uninjured after Striking Vehicle & Utility Pole

On Saturday afternoon, April 27, 2019, at approximately 12:45 PM, Laura D. Hrubes (pronounced roob-ish) was operating a compact SUV, southbound on State Highway 27 between Viroqua and Liberty Pole, in the town of Franklin.  Another southbound vehicle, ahead of the Hrubes vehicle, was stopped on the highway waiting for oncoming traffic to clear so he could turn left into a private driveway.  Hrubes did not realize the vehicle ahead of her was stopped until she was too close.  Hrubes steered right and avoided striking the vehicle ahead of her that just started his left turn.  The Hrubes vehicle went off the right side of the roadway and sideswiped a utility pole.  Hrubes was wearing a seatbelt and the right-side airbag curtain deployed.  No injuries were reported.

 

The Viroqua Fire Department assisted the Sheriff’s Office at the scene.
