A former UW Oshkosh student was killed in a collision with a commercial truck March 1 on Wisconsin Highway 26 near Neitman Road in the town of Waupun.

Alexa Dunn, age 20, was pronounced dead on the scene after being struck by an oncoming truck at around 1:46 a.m. Saturday morning. Preliminary investigations from the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office revealed that Dunn’s car crossed the centerline and collided with the truck head-on. Bystanders told law enforcement that the car was unable to maintain its lane prior to the crash. The driver of the truck was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries and was released later that day.

Highway 26 was closed between CTH-TC and Highway 151 for approximately four hours to clean up the crash and to conduct an investigation by the Fond du Lac Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team.

The investigation is ongoing, but alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.
