A two-vehicle collision occurred Wednesday morning on US Highway 14, in the Town of Coon, which is between Westby and Coon Valley. Vernon County Sheriff John Spears said 23-year-old Karisa Timmerman of La Crosse, was operating a car eastbound, near Vang Road, and lost control on the slush covered road. Timmerman’s vehicle crossed the center of the highway and struck a westbound pickup truck driven by 48-year-old Randall Brueggeman of Cashton. The Timmerman vehicle spun around and came to rest in the eastbound lane and caught fire, but was quickly extinguished. The Brueggeman vehicle travelled off the right side of the westbound lane and came to rest in a snowbank. Timmerman and Brueggeman sustained minor injuries in the accident. The accident remains under investigation by the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office.
