Crash with injury
On July 20 at 1:58 p.m., a vehicle operated by Mason Marmaduke, 16, of Rib Lake, was traveling west on CTH M in the town of Greenwood. Marmaduke looked in his rear view mirror, and when he looked back up, he saw a deer, so he swerved to miss it. The vehicle operated by Marmaduke hit a mailbox on the north shoulder of CTH M. Marmaduke then over corrected. The vehicle crossed the center line and rolled over numerous times before coming to rest on its roof in the south ditch facing east. A witness observed all of this. Marmaduke was suspected of having a broken left arm/wrist and was transported by ambulance to Medford Aspirus. The vehicle was left in the ditch as it was not a road hazard. Marmaduke's parents were on the scene. TAYLOR COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
