TOWN OF VERNON- A dump truck, an SUV and a car were in an accident on Highway 164 in the Town of Vernon in Waukesha County around 3:42 p.m. Wednesday.
A preliminary investigation suggests that a 39-year-old man from Waukesha was driving the dump truck and struck a 21-year-old woman's vehicle as she was turning east onto Guthrie Drive from Big Bend Drive. Then authorities say the driver of the dump truck, who was heading north, then entered the southbound lanes of traffic and crashed into another vehicle just north of Guthrie Drive.
That vehicle was driven by a 37-year-old woman from Salem. She had her 11-year-old daughter in the vehicle at the time of the crash. They sustained minor injures and weren't transported to the hospital.
