Deputy was speeding before fatal accident

A follow-up story in the Vilas County (Wisc.) News-Review revealed new information about the April 25th crash in Lac du Flambeau (14 miles northwest of Minocqua) that killed Deputy Kory Dahlvig. Dahlvig ran into the rear of a farm truck that had just pulled into the highway.

The details were made available in a five-page report by Trooper Dennis Bedish of the Wisconsin State Patrol.

According to the trooper's report, Dahlvig was exceeding the speed limit without his squad car lights and siren activated and was not wearing a seat belt. The report states that Dahlvig’s vehicle was exceeding the speed limit in a 55MPH zone before the collision, but it does not state a specific speed.

The truck driver was arrested for homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.
