ONTARIO, Wis. – Vernon County Sheriff Roy Torgerson reports a 24-year-old woman from Lannon, Wis. suffered serious injuries after crashing her motorcycle near Ontario over the weekend.
A Sheriff’s report states that the Sheriff’s Office 911 Dispatch Center received a report of a motorcycle crash on State Highway 33, near Taylor Valley Road at approximately 4:45 p.m. on Saturday. The report goes on to say Sabrina Marie Sanderson of Lannon, Wis., was operating a motorcycle traveling south and struck a guardrail on a curve. Sanderson was ejected and the riderless motorcycle crossed the roadway and struck an embankment on the opposite side.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Sanderson sustained substantial injuries, was transported to Ontario’s town square to rendezvous with Emplify Air, and flown to Gundersen Health System (Emplify) in La Crosse, Wis.
The sheriff’s deputy investigating the crash said, “The full-face helmet she was wearing almost certainly saved her life when her face hit the guardrail.”
Assisting the Sheriff’s Office were the Ontario Fire Department, Ontario Emergency Medical Service ambulance, and Emplify Air helicopter.
The crash remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office.
