The victim of a serious crash involving the Board Chairman of the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation has been identified.
The 23-year-old Sheboygan man whose car was struck is Cody T. Goetsch. He was driving north on Lakeshore Road just before 10 PM Monday when 52-year-old Donald C. Hammond Jr., also of Sheboygan, failed to yield as he attempted to turn near Willow Creek Lane while southbound.
Hammond, the Board Chairman of the SCEDC, was not seriously injured, however Goetsch was trapped beneath the dash of his car and had to be extricated with the Jaws of Life. He was flown by Flight for Life for hospitalization where he remains in serious condition at this time.
Hammond was arrested at the scene for Operating while intoxicated causing injury. The Sheriff said that speed may also have played a role in the crash. The investigation is still underway and court dates have yet to be announced.
