HOWARD, WI : 34-year-old man crashes vehicle with 4 and 6-year-old as passengers on Tuesday, 17th October 2023

A Brown County man appeared in court Tuesday following a crash that injured children over the weekend. Nathan Stymiest was charged with two counts of an OWI with a child in the vehicle and two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety.

On Sunday, officials in the Village of Howard responded to Lineville Drive and Bayshore Drive for reports of a crash. The deputy on scene saw a vehicle on its roof approximately 50 feet from the road. The deputy reports that the car also had heavy damage.

The deputy who responded was advised Stymiest’s kids were hanging upside down and the car seats were hanging 6 inches from the backseat. The criminal complaint says that the children’s car seats were not secured properly. Stymiest’s 4-year-old child received a bump to his head and his 6-year-old girl had a bleeding nose, the complaint said.
