Police report that a man was found dead on Monday following a single-vehicle accident wherein his car swerved off Green Bay Road in Pleasant Prairie.

The crash was called in by a passing driver around 1:07 PM Monday. The caller said his daughter had seen a crumpled car about 25 yards into the woods, away from the road, near Springbrook Road.

The 27-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. A number of small trees had been knocked down in the car's wake and the vehicle had flipped over onto its roof.

Friends and family say that the driver was headed to Kenosha at the time of the crash.
Police believe that speeding was a factor in the accident and are currently investigating to determine any other possible causes.

On Wednesday, 49-year old Tom Fosdick of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, succumbed to his injuries and passed away after falling at the construction site he was working at on Monday.  Fosdick was employed by Swanson Glass.

Swanson was sub-contracted to work on the exterior renovations taking place at University of Iowa's Boy Law Building.  Iowa's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is expected to investigate the construction accident from between six to eight weeks to determine who, if anyone, was at fault for Fodisck's death.  So far, the general contractor of the project, Miron Construction of Wisconsin, has been fined $15,293 for 19 safety violations.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Fosdick's family and friends during this difficult time.
