CONNORSVILLE, Wis. (WJMC) — A motorcycle rider was killed Saturday evening in rural Dunn County.

Sheriff Kevin Bygd said responders were called to the scene just after 7:30 p.m. Saturday, on 145th Street, just north of County Highway K, about two miles north of Connorsville.

It appeared the rider was traveling north on 145th Street, crossed the centerline, struck a field driveway in the west ditch, went airborne and crashed.

The rider was found unresponsive. Lifesaving measures were not successful and the rider was pronounced deceased at the scene. Investigators say alcohol appeared to be a factor in the crash.

The name of the rider was withheld pending family notification.
