lorenzen says these types of accidents happen every year with the first snowfalls. his coworker, trooper david schmidt, got rear ended on 1-41 in washington county last sunday. "thankfully, there were no 3 serious injuries caused. the cruiser is damaged without repair, but the most important thing is that the trooper is okay."lorenzen says a trooper lost his leg in a similar incident near fond du lac a few years ago.that's why officials urge people to drive would, and not drive too close to others, especially in certain "hot spots" in this cold weather."typically interstate 41 through washington county is usually always a problem in the snowy weather. i94 usually through the eastern half of waukesha county is a big problem. we do have the zoo interchange project going on."lorenzen leaves this word of advice for crews out here in waukesha are of course plowing and salting the roads as we speak. again, officials urge you to stay home and avoid the roads during this storm. live in waukesha, ad cbs 58 news. 3 and be sure to download our cbs 58 ready weather app.you can
