WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. -- Traffic was still backed up Wednesday afternoon after a dune buggy crashed into a car on Interstate 94 earlier this afternoon.
Witnesses said the driver of the dune buggy was driving recklessly in and out of traffic. Just when it passed the Highway C overpass, it switched lanes and hit a Ford Taurus, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.
The dune buggy lost control and rolled over several times and the driver was ejected, authorities said.
The 42-year-old dune buggy driver, of Oconomowoc, was taken by Flight For Life to Froedtert Hospital with serious head and possibly internal injuries.
The 58-year-old Wauwatosa man in the Taurus was not injured.
Alcohol could be a factor, the sheriff's department said.
The Waukesha County Sheriff's Department asks that drivers avoid I-94 westbound near Highway T.
