A Whitewater man died Thursday when the car he was driving hit a tree in the Town of Delavan.
Brian G. Blucher, 26, died at the scene on County Highway P north of County Highway M at about 6:10 a.m. Thursday.
Blucher was driving a red Dodge Intrepid south on Highway P when the car lost control, left the road and struck a tree on the east side of the road, according to the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office.
Speed is believed to be a factor, according to a press release from the department. Blucher, who was not wearing a seat belt, was the sole occupant of the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 7 a.m.
