St. Croix County authorities said a western Wisconsin man was killed Wednesday after he ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle at a rural Spring Valley intersection.

The St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office said 57-year-old Knapp resident Timothy H. Mittlestadt was pronounced dead at the scene -- County Road N and 310th Street in the town of Cady. The driver of the second vehicle, Richard C. Fisher, 52, North Hudson, was transported to River Falls Area Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

According to a news release, the crash occurred at 2:33 p.m. when Mittlestadt’s Chevy Express van, headed north on 310th Street, drove through a stop sign and was struck by Fisher’s eastbound Ford Super Duty van at County Road N.

Mittlestadt’s van then struck a telephone box and a utility pole before coming to rest in the northeast corner of the intersection.

Sheriff’s officials said Mittlestadt was not wearing a seat belt. Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Klatt said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
