Wisconsin Man in Critical Condition after Rollover Car Accident

On behalf of Milwaukee personal injury attorney Ric Domnitz of Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. posted in Car Accidents on Monday, August 23, 2010.

A Wisconsin man who was driving under the influence of alcohol is in critical condition following a rollover car accident over the weekend. According to news reports, 24-year-old Joshua Restivo, of Brodhead, Wis., was critically injured after a crash on West State Highway 213 at West Plymouth Church Road in the Town of Plymouth.

The rollover crash occurred around 10:20 p.m. when Restivo failed to negotiate a curve at Plymouth Church Road while driving westbound and entered the north ditch line on the road. Once in the ditch, the 1998 Chevy Cavalier rolled several times which caused Restivo to be ejected from the vehicle. The car came to a stop several hundred feet west of where the vehicle left the road.

According to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office, Restivo was not wearing his safety belt at the time of the crash. Following the crash, Orfordville Fire/EMS and Beliot EMS responded to the scene. Restivo was flown by a medical helicopter to Rockford Memorial Hospital where he was admitted in critical condition with non-life threatening injuries, according to authorities.

The Rock County Sheriff’s Office believes that excessive speed and alcohol were factors in the car accident and Restivo was cited for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Authorities believe further citations may be issued against Restivo at the conclusion of their investigation of the crash.

As a result of the car accident, the stretch of highway on Wisconsin 213 was closed after the time of the crash until shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday.
