At about 2:22 a.m. Saturday, the Dunn County E-911 Center received a report of a lone westbound vehicle that had left the road on Highway 29 near the intersection of 906th Street in the town of Elk Mound.

Upon arriving, deputies found the vehicle was traveling westbound on Highway 29 and failed to negotiate the curve in the road. The vehicle went down a steep embankment and rolled several times. The male driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle, and he was ejected.
