TOWN OF PLYMOUTH - A South Wayne man died after his pickup truck hit a tree just south of Orfordville early Monday morning, according to the Rock County Sheriff's Office.
Patrick C. Zweifel, 25, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. He was a member of the Brodhead High School Class of 2008.
Deputies were called at 3:21 a.m. Monday to an area near County K just north of West Hafeman Road, Town of Plymouth.
An investigation showed that Zweifel was southbound on County K when his pickup truck went onto the shoulder, and when he overcorrected, the truck skidded sideways across both lanes of traffic, struck a tree in the east ditch and rolled onto its roof.
Zweifel was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the truck during the crash. Deputies found him nearby in a wooded area.
He died from injuries he sustained in the crash, according to a forensic examination at the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office. Additional testing is underway.
The Rock County Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate the cause of the accident.
