MONROE - A two-vehicle accident Thursday afternoon was caused by a driver adjusting his car stereo, according to police reports.

The accident occurred in at 4:18 p.m. Thursday in the W8900 block of Wisconsin 11 in the Town of Cadiz. Reports indicate that Charles E. Anderson, 24, Monroe, was eastbound on Wis. 11 when he looked away from the road to adjust his stereo. He entered the south shoulder and over corrected, then returned to the roadway, crossed the centerline and hit a westbound vehicle driven by Casey L. Hill, 26, Janesville.

Hill's vehicle left the roadway, entered the north ditch and overturned, coming to rest on its wheels. Hill's vehicle had severe damage and was towed from the scene. Anderson's vehicle sustained severe damage and was towed from the scene.

Anderson, Hill, and Hill's passengers, Logan S. Hill, 5, Janesville, and Daniel W. Odell, 25, Janesville, were all transported by ambulance for injuries. Anderson was cited for inattentive driving and Hill was cited for operating without a valid driver's license. Both were released.
