Animal control officers responded to an incident near Blue Mounds after a teen crashed a truck with three pythons inside. According to a release from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were sent to Highway 151 in the town of Blue Mounds around 9pm Wednesday. Officers said a 16-year-old was driving a pick-up truck when his vehicle left the road and rolled several times before coming to a rest in the median. The driver was extricated from the truck and airlifted to a Madison hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Animal control officers were called to the scene to care for the pythons which were in the vehicle. A part of Highway 151 was closed for around 90 minutes.
