NOKOMIS, Wis. (WFRV) – A 20-year-old man was hospitalized with crash injuries after being ejected from his vehicle when it went airborne and rolled over multiple times.
The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office reported that dispatchers were alerted by several callers to a single-vehicle accident around 8:37 p.m. on Wednesday.
