PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, WI – On June 6, 2025, at around 3:01 p.m., a two-car accident took place on Hwy 18 near Fuller Hollow Rd in Patch Grove Township, leading to minor injuries and traffic disruption.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office disclosed that Cameron Laack, a 17-year-old from Dickeyville, was behind the wheel of a 2016 Chevy Express Van, heading westbound, with 19-year-old Ariana Hauck from Lancaster as his passenger. Simultaneously, Abby Dye, a 36-year-old from Lancaster, was driving a 2018 Chevy Tahoe eastbound, accompanied by a juvenile passenger.
