BROWNTOWN - Three people were injured and a New Glarus man was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated after he reportedly crashed a vehicle in Browntown early Saturday, July 28.

Lavelle T. Conner-Hatchet, 23, was eastbound in the 900 block of East Old Highway Road in Browntown when he lost control on a curve, according to the Green County Sheriff's Department.

The vehicle veered into the ditch and struck a culvert, causing the vehicle to go airborne and overturn while striking several trees. It came to rest on the driver's side.

Deputies responded at 12:29 a.m. and discovered Conner-Hatchet and his passengers had fled the scene. They were later located.

Connor-Hatchet and passenger Toni B. Burke, 21, Monroe, were injured and transported by Green County EMS to the Monroe Clinic ER.

A second passenger, Kelsey A. Wuethrich, 21, rural Monroe, sustained injuries but declined treatment. She was cited for obstructing a law enforcement officer.

Conner-Hatchet was also cited for driving without a valid license and failure to maintain control. He was released pending court.
