Preliminary investigation indicates that a tractor was moving a house westbound on County Road O near the intersection with Oak Drive when an eastbound vehicle struck a corner of the house, continued underneath it, and then emerged before striking a pickup truck head on which was following behind the house.

The driver of the eastbound vehicle, 19-year-old Dylan Mickelson of Abbotsford, WI, died of his injuries at the scene; the passenger, 20-year- old Autumn Armatoski of Phillips, WI, was transported for medical treatment.

The operator of the tractor pulling the house was identified as: Jason Nelson of Thorp, WI. Jason was not injured. The operator of the pickup truck that was struck was identified as: Dominick Sykora of Thorp, WI.

Dominick was not injured. Investigation of this crash is ongoing with assistance from the Wisconsin State Patrol. No further details will be released at this time. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Dylan.
