Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rains resulted in flash flooding of a construction zone on the west frontage road of I-94 between STH 20 and CTH C. A 76-year-old Dousman man died when his car stalled in the flood waters after driving into a flooded ditch in the construction zone. The preliminary cause of death was from a heart attack and hypothermia, suffered when the victim apparently tried to leave the marooned car and walk for help. His body was found in the flood water about 100 yards from his car.
