Man From Plain Arrested For Fatal Hit and Run Crash

A man from Plain was arrested Wednesday following a deadly hit-and-run west of Sauk City earlier this week. Deputies with the Sauk County Sheriff’s department arrested 62 year old Patrick Nachreiner two days after the crash near County Highway B and Cassell Road in the town of Troy. The crash on Monday night seriously injured a bicyclist. The victim later died from their injuries. In a news release, the sheriff’s office said it received a call Wednesday afternoon from a lawyer who said a client believed they hit a deer while driving in the area on Monday. The lawyer gave the sheriff’s office the client’s name and location but did not provide more details about the crash. Deputies served a search warrant and found the vehicle believed to be involved in the crash. The release said the vehicle appeared to have suffered damage consistent with hitting a person and bicycle rather than a deer. Nachreiner was taken to the Sauk County jail. The vehicle, a full-sized white van with Nachreiner Plumbing and Heating decals, was secured for additional examination.
