Sun Prairie man killed in two-vehicle crash at Highway K

A Sun Prairie man was killed Sunday morning in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of County Highway K and U.S. Highway 51.

According to Captain Tyler Young of the Oneida County sheriff’s office, deputies responded to a 911 call reporting the crash. 

“Upon arrival, it appeared that a southbound 2018 Cadillac X5 was making a left turn eastbound on to Highway K and turned in front of a 2022 Mack semi-truck,” Young said in the press release. “The Mack semi struck the Cadillac as it was making its turn.”

Attempts were made to save the life of  Robert Canfield, 77, the driver of the Cadillac, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The truck operator was uninjured. 

Detours were set up around that section of Hwy. 51 from approximately 11 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

Young said reconstruction of the crash is being conducted by the Wisconsin State Patrol.
