A four-vehicle accident at the intersection of Highway 27 and County J last Thursday afternoon resulted in only minor injuries to the drivers, according  to Vernon County Sheriff John Spears.

The crash occurred about 3:15 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 8 in the Township of Franklin.

Jonathan Thomas Sherry, 17, rural Viroqua, was stopped southbound on 27 signaling to turn east onto J. Brandon J. Mickelson, 17, rural Viroqua, was also southbound on 27 when he was unable to stop his vehicle and it rear-ended Sherry’s vehicle.
