ALBANY - A Monroe man faces a felony charge of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle following a pickup vs. minivan crash Monday, Oct. 7 that killed a 10-year-old boy.
Michael T. Iverson, 10, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a release from the Green County Sheriff's Department. He was a fifth-grader at Kegonsa Elementary School in Stoughton and is Green County's sixth traffic fatality of 2013.
He was riding with two siblings in his father's minivan when an out-of-control pickup truck collided with them. Deputies were called to the scene at 5:41 p.m.
Trevor J. McGuire, 21, Monroe, was westbound driving the pickup truck on Wisconsin 59 at Broughton Road in rural Albany when he lost control on a curve and went into the opposite lane, hitting the eastbound minivan driven by Matthew I. Iverson, 35, Stoughton.
Iverson tried to avoid the collision by going onto the shoulder, but was hit anyway. He was flown by Med-Flight helicopter to the University of Wisconsin Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. A hospital spokesperson reported midday Tuesday, Oct. 8, that he had been discharged.
The other children, ages 7 and 13, had minor injuries and were transported by ambulance.
McGuire was transported by ambulance for non-life threatening injuries. His one passenger, Michael G. Ladwig, 24, Monroe, had minor injuries but declined treatment.
Deputies report that witnesses saw McGuire speeding and passing other vehicles before he lost control. McGuire and Ladwig were both reportedly drinking prior to the crash. Deputies found an open container of alcohol in the pickup.
McGuire was arrested, and after being released from the hospital, was jailed and tentatively charged with reckless driving and homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. His initial appearance in court is expected Wednesday, Oct. 9.
This is not McGuire's first charge of driving while intoxicated, according to state court records. He was arrested for a first-offense DWI in January in Cadiz Township and eventually pleaded no contest to a downgraded forfeiture offense and paid a $295 fine, along with a $213.10 fine for operating left of center.
Tim Onsager, administrator of the Stoughton Area School District, said Tuesday the district is focusing in the immediate aftermath on helping students, teachers and families grieve the loss of the 10-year-old boy.
