Fatal Car Accident Footage LCO 9 20 09

On Sunday evening around 6:45 pm a Sawyer Country Deputy says he came upon the scene of an accident on Highway K on the LCO Ojibwe Reservation. Approximately 3 miles east of Northwoods Beach. It appears that the driver of the vehicle was traveling at high speed when they left the right side of the road traveling east and then upon coming back on the road, lost control and spun sideways, then backwards into a tree trapping the driver and two passengers. Two people were extracted and flown to medical facilities by helicopter. The Sawyer County Record as of Sept. 20th is reporting the death of one of the three but not published any names. The accident was in Bass Lake Town, Sawyer Country near Hayward, Wisconsin. The unidentified driver and occupants were reportedly from Illinois.

The site is a few hundred feet down from the sight of several other fatal accidents over the course of the last few years.
