Two Vehicle Accident with Injuries in Grant County

The Grant County Sheriff’s Department has released details of a two-vehicle accident with injuries last week near Fennimore. Three people were injured in the crash on Highway 61 shortly after 6:30pm on Friday May 21st. According to a sheriff’s office report, a van driven by 34 year old Vanessa Lee of Boscobel slowed and came to a stop in the southbound lane of Highway 61 while waiting to turn left. The man driving directly behind the van, 36-year-old Mitchell McGraw of Boscobel, failed to notice the van stopped and rear-ended the van. The van was then pushed into the northbound lane of Highway 61 where it came to a rest. McGraw’s vehicle continued south on the highway roughly 100 yards before stopping in a ditch. Both vehicles had extensive damage and were towed from the scene. Vanessa Lee and another occupant in the van, 34 year old Hayden Lee of Boscobel, suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene. McGraw suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to Gunderson Boscobel Hospital.   McGraw was cited for fourth-offense operating after revocation, inattentive driving, and operating a motor vehicle without insurance.
