A 76-year-old Sheboygan Falls woman says a sticky gas pedal in her Toyota Camry caused her to run into a YMCA building Monday, authorities said. She claimed she was pulling into a parking space with her foot on the brake when the vehicle suddenly accelerated, jumping the curb and hitting the wall.

Her chest hit the steering wheel in the accident, police said, fracturing her sternum. The accident created a large crack in the wall of the building running from the floor to the ceiling, but engineers declared the damage not structurally dangerous.

Central Wisconsin's spring thaw usually occurs in late March or early April, but recent rainfalls could cause Wisconsin rivers to increase earlier this
year. Water company NewPage Corporation urges people to use extreme caution near Wisconsin River dams, one of which is located in Stevens Point. The heavier flows associated with the thaw can create dangerous situations above and below the five dams along the Wisconsin River, officials say. Even slight rainfall can cause dangerous currents and higher water levels, which could be hazardous for boaters.

Officials warn boaters to stay especially far from the dams when the flood gates are open, because in those situations, flows can capsize a boat no matter its size. Many accidents can occur in these conditions, and the company will close the boat ramp if the water situation becomes too
dangerous.

Police believe a reckless driver caused a rollover accident in Wisconsin that injured four Illinois men Sunday afternoon. Police say a caller reported a reckless driver on the highway, and a few minutes later they received word of a single-vehicle wreck near that same place. Police say the vehicle approached a turn at a high speed, slid sideways and over-corrected, losing control. This caused the vehicle to tumble down an embankment before striking a utility pole.

Police said they found beer bottles from the car scattered around the scene. Police believe alcohol was a factor in the crash. Three of the four men were not wearing seat belts, police said, and were thrown from the vehicle. All four were taken to hospitals.
