Sheboygan Falls, WI (August 7, 2025) – Dense morning fog is being blamed for a major chain-reaction crash Thursday that shut down parts of State Highway 23 between Plymouth and Sheboygan. The first crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near Sunset Road in the town of Sheboygan Falls.

According to reports, visibility in the area was less than one-tenth of a mile when a vehicle crossing State Highway 23 at Sunset Road triggered a multi-vehicle collision involving at least nine vehicles. While deputies worked to close the roadway and reroute traffic, a second crash involving six more vehicles occurred west of the initial scene. Serious, life-threatening injuries were reported in the first collision. The Wisconsin State Patrol is reconstructing the crash as part of the ongoing investigation. Both directions of the highway were affected for several hours.
