Mukwonago, WI : North Prairie man dies after motorcycle/car crash in Mukwonago on Sunday, May 15, 2016

A North Prairie man who was severely injured in a motorcycle accident Sunday, May 15, in the village of Mukwonago died later that night, according to those close to him.

The cause of death is still unknown due to the unusual circumstances surrounding his death.

As 48-year-old Danny Weber was being taken to Froedtert Hospital, the ambulance carrying him was involved in a collision near 92nd Street and Oklahoma, the cause of which is still under investigation.

Weber was being taken to the hospital after a crash on Highway 83 at Black Bear Boulevard in Mukwonago. According to Mukwonago Police Chief Kevin Schmidt, Weber was northbound on Highway 83 on a motorcycle when a 2008 Mercury sedan pulled out from Black Bear Boulevard to head south on 83.

Weber's motorcycle struck the rear of the sedan.

The driver of the car, a man from Burlington, was taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.

Weber sustained a serious head injury. He was not wearing a helmet when he was thrown from his motorcycle, according to Schmidt.

Mukwonago Fire Chief Jeff Stien said Weber was in very critical condition before he was transported by the Mukwonago Fire Department ambulance, but he is unsure whether "anything after that contributed" to his death.

The ambulance was en route to Froedtert when it was involved in a collision with another vehicle. Fire department personnel and the other individuals involved in that crash were not injured, according to Stien, but whether the crash affected Weber remains under investigation.

After the collision, another ambulance took Weber to Froedtert. Mukwonago emergency medical technicians and paramedics were able to accompany and treat Weber on the way to the hospital.

While the cause of both accidents has yet to be determined, the Mukwonago Police Department is working with the Wisconsin State Patrol Reconstruction Team to better determine the cause of the initial accident. The cause of the ambulance collision is also under investigation by the Milwaukee Police Department.

Weber is survived by his wife and two daughters. Visitation is planned for 1 p.m. until the 4 p.m. funeral service Saturday, May 21, at the Church and Chapel Funeral Home, 15250 W. National Ave., New Berlin.
