A 63-year-old Caledonia man died after a Milwaukee wrong-way driver caused a four-vehicle crash in Racine County, police say

A 63-year-old man died from injuries he sustained in a four-vehicle crash in Racine County on Wednesday, according to a news release from the Caledonia Police Department. 

Caledonia police and fire units responded to State Highway 32 and Botting Road at about 12:17 p.m. for a "motor vehicle accident with injuries."

A silver Chevrolet Colorado, driven by a 33-year-old Milwaukee man, was traveling south on State Highway 32 and crossed into the northbound lanes into oncoming traffic, the news release said. 

A Jeep Cherokee traveling north on 32 swerved into a guardrail to avoid colliding with the Chevrolet Colorado. 

The next vehicle traveling north on 32, a Toyota Tacoma driven by a 63-year-old Caledonia man, was struck head-on by the Chevrolet Colorado, the news release said. 

A Nissan Rogue, also traveling north, then struck the Toyota Tacoma in the rear. 

"Due to the severity of the vehicle damage, the Caledonia Fire Department needed to extricate parties from their vehicles," the news release said. 

The drivers of the Chevrolet Colorado and Nissan Rogue sustained minor injuries and were taken to Racine's Ascension All Saints Hospital. 

The driver of the Toyota Tacoma was taken to a local hospital, but was later flown by Flight for Life to Froedtert Hospital. He died as a result of his injuries, the news release said. 

The roadway reopened at approximately 4 p.m. Wednesday. 

The Caledonia Police Department, with assistance from the Wisconsin State Patrol, are continuing to investigate the circumstances that "led to and surround the crash."
