A Fond du Lac area man was killed in a one vehicle crash in Dodge County early Thanksgiving morning. Shortly before 1:30am Thursday a Dodge County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a speeding vehicle on County Highway C near Highway 151, a few miles south of Waupun. The deputy turned around to attempt to stop the car, but the vehicle sped away. About one minute later, the deputy came upon the car, which had crashed into a tree next to the highway. The driver was manually extricated from the severely damaged car and deputies immediately began lifesaving actions. However, the driver was later pronounced dead at the scene. There were no other occupants in the car. The driver was identified as a 21 year old Fond du Lac area man. The crash is under investigation.
