FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. (WFRV) - The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office responded to a two-vehicle crash in the Town of Auburn earlier on Sunday. Deputies from the sheriff's office, along with personnel form Campbellsport Fire Department and Campbellsport Ambulance, responded to the intersection of County Highway V and Mill Pond Road after receiving a 911 call around 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning. The caller, a passenger in one of the involved vehicles, reported that another vehicle had pulled into their path and now the driver of their vehicle was trapped with a head injury.
