On Thursday around 4:00 p.m., The Grant County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a vehicle vs. tractor crash on Highway 151, near Southwest Road. When officers arrived, they learned 18-year-old Martin Euler of Hazel Green, was northbound on Highway 151 operating a tractor pulling a chopper box. At the same time, Rogan Hellwig was also northbound on Hwy 151 in a minivan. As Hellwig came upon the tractor and trailer, he did not see the farm machinery right away. Hellwig attempted to swerve, but collided with the rear driver’s side tire of the chopper box. Hellwig’s vehicle sustained heavy damage as a result of the crash, and Euler’s farm equipment was able to be driven from the scene. Southwest Health Center EMS responded to the scene, but neither driver required transport. Hellwig was cited for inattentive driving. The Grant County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the UW – Platteville Police Department, Platteville Fire Department, SOS Road Rescue, and Southwest Health Center EMS.
