Two Vehicle Crash / Hit and Run Near Boscobel

On Saturday, at around 1:30 PM, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding a two vehicle crash on Highway 133 west of Boscobel. The investigating deputy learned that 58 year old Ricky Kazda of rural Boscobel, was driving his truck going east on Hwy 133, approaching Peer Road. He said that a red Chevrolet Aveo did a u-turn in front of him and he was not able to stop his truck prior to hitting her car. A passenger in the Aveo reported that the driver had picked him up near there, as the Aveo “ran out of gas” so the female stopped on Peer Rd, and when she got the car going again, she pulled out, facing west near the eastbound lane, and did a u-turn back toward Boscobel. When she did this, she pulled directly in front of Kazda’s truck. The driver of the car fled the scene of the crash as soon as she heard that law enforcement had been called. The investigating deputy found a wallet with a driver’s license belonging to 21 year old Abbigail Hartner of Boscobel. The passenger of the car confirmed that she was the driver of the Aveo. Terry’s Tire and Auto of Boscobel assisted at the scene, removing the Aveo. The crash remains under investigation. The driver will receive citations relating to the cause of the crash as well as hit and run. Other citations are possible.
