a 2012 Jeep Wrangler, on its roof in the west ditch, along Hwy 151, just over an embankment (making it difficult to see from the highway). Emergency personnel located the driver in the vehicle, who was trapped and unresponsive. The Jaws of Life was used to free the driver of the
vehicle, who was identified as Levi Linscheid, 24 of Highland. Mr. Linscheid was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Grant County Coroner, due to injures he sustained in the crash. Mr. Linscheid was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash. A preliminary investigation showed that the vehicle traveled off the road, striking a guardrail, slid along a cement barrier on an overpass before traveling over the cement barrier onto an embankment.
Assisting the Grant County Sheriff's Office was the Jamestown Fire Department and First Responders, Dickeyville EMS, Jamestown Township Patrolman, Guy's Towing, Grant County Highway Department, and the Iowa County Sheriff's Office. This crash remains under investigation
