By Patrick Lynn
Authorities have released the name of a 37 year-old Vesper man who died after a one- vehicle crash early Sunday morning.
Gabriel Migut was pronounced dead at the scene about 1:15 AM near the intersection of Coolidge and Highway 54. Portage Co. Sheriff’s Deputies say Migut was thrown from his truck after it rolled three times then struck a utility pole, knocking out power to over 2,000 Plover residents for about 3 hours. Migut had driven into the ditch from the eastbound lane and was attempting to return to the road, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.
Whether or not alcohol was a factor in the crash is not known.
