Wisconsin Tow Truck Driver Struck and Killed

Dan Bobholz, of Allenton, was killed when a Jeep traveling southbound on Highway 41 sideswiped a legally parked Washington County Sheriff's Office squad that was doing traffic direction while Bobholz removed a runoff vehicle from the right ditch. After the Jeep sideswiped the Washington County squad, it started to spin and struck Bobholz while he was on foot loading the runoff vehicle onto his wrecker. Bobholz was then pushed into his wrecker and, as the Jeep rotated away, he fell into a traffic lane of Highway 41 where he was then run over by a semi tractor-trailer traveling past the scene.
