A 36-year-old Whitewater man is dead after a head-on collision on Highway 20 in East Troy early this morning.
According to a press release from the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, Titus J. Greenwood was eastbound on Highway 20 when his 2011 Honda Insight crossed the centerline and entered the westbound lane of Highway 20, and was struck head-on by a semi-truck and trailer.
The 911 call came in around 5:50 a.m. of a head-on crash between a semi-truck and trailer and an automobile on Highway 20 about one-tenth of a mile west of Town Line Road in the Town of Troy.
First responders found Greenwood deceased behind the wheel of this car. He was wearing a seatbelt, according to the press release.
The driver of the semi, Paul J. Rasmusson, 38, of Racine, was transported to a local hospital but was not admitted. The 2013 International semi-truck and trailer is operated by United Rental Company out of East Chicago, Ind.
Highway 20 was closed for about five hours Thursday morning and the Walworth County Crash Investigation Unit was summoned to the scene.
The crash remains under investigation at this time. An autopsy will be performed later this week to determine the exact cause of death.
