Two drivers were injured in a car accident outside Warrens over the weekend.

A 44 year-old driver is suspected of being intoxicated when she pulled out of a parking lot in front of another vehicle near Highway 12 and Highway EW. The other vehicle was unable to avoid hitting the woman.

The woman suffered life-threatening injuries and is currently in critical condition at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse. A passenger in her vehicle was not hurt. The driver of the other vehicle, 54, suffered minor injuries as was taken to Tomah Memorial.

Wisconsin State Patrol as well as the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department are still investigating the crash.

A drunk driving task force, funded by a $96,000 federal grant, will host a four hour patrol following the Green Bay Packers divisional playoff game next month to stop drunk drivers.

In a trial run, officers caught six drunk drivers leaving the Packers-Raiders game earlier this month. If the Packers win, expect the task force to be out for the NFC Championship game. The Brown County task force says it has received many requests from residents to increase post-game DWI patrols.

While the Packers and the task force do not have a formal partnership, the organization has many programs to encourage safe drinking. Only two drinks can be bought per purchase and last call is in the third quarter. This season Green Bay Metro is offering free bus rides.

Two people have died and one is in critical condition at University Hospital in Madison after a two-car crash over the weekend.

The accident happened Saturday night on Highway 26 when a northbound driver lost control of his vehicle and hit a woman in the southbound lane. The 39 year-old man and 22 year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene. The woman’s passenger, 23, is still in the hospital.

Highway 26 has seen several fatal accidents over the years, which caused the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to create passing lanes. However, officers are now seeing drivers speed to pass other vehicles. Officers often patrol this stretch of highway because of its record. Speed and alcohol are not believed to have been a factor in this accident.

Our deepest sympathies are with the friends and families of two victims.

Three Subaru models and one Honda motorcycle model are being recalled due to brake malfunctions.

The 2012 Subaru Outback, Legacy, and Impreza have received dozens of complaints about their brake pedals. Drivers claim that the brake pedals shift down further than expected, causing people to misjudge how much pressure to apply when stopping. No crashes or injuries have been reported due to this defect.

2001-2012 models of the Honda GL-1800 motorcycles are being recalled due to a rear brake malfunction that can cause it to drag. Over twenty-six complaints have been sent to Honda about this problem. A crash or fire could result from the brake dragging on the road.

Owners can bring their vehicles to dealerships for inspection.
