Allbee’s vehicle continued off the roadway and struck a utility pole before it came to a stop just inside of a cornfield. Assisting the Grant County Sheriff’s Office at the scene were The Cuba City Police Department, Platteville Fire Department, and Southwest Health EMS. The crash remains under investigation.
