Just after 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026, the Kansasville Fire & Rescue Department (KFRD) was dispatched along with Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputies to respond to a reported three-vehicle crash that involved a head-on collision in the 2400 block of CTH BD in the western Kenosha County Town of Brighton. Multiple KFRD and Kenosha Sheriff’s units responded immediately and arrived quickly on scene to find a crash involving three vehicles with extensive damage, airbag deployment, entrapment, and requiring extrication. KFRD’s Paramedic team quickly triaged and assessed the patients, stabilized them during extrication and initiated care for the serious injuries they sustained in the crash. Mutual aid resources were requested from the Paris and Salem Lakes Fire Departments. Additional Ambulances and Engine companies responded to assist with the extrication of the injured drivers and to provide the emergency care necessary. A Flight for Life helicopter was also requested to respond to the scene. One driver was transported by ground ambulance to a Kenosha hospital. One driver was transported by Flight for Life to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. The third driver, sadly, did not survive the extensive traumatic injuries and was deceased at the scene. County Highway BD was closed southbound at 18th Street and northbound at CTH JB/31st Street as emergency crews worked at the crash scene. Kenosha County’s MCAT team is investigating the cause of the crash. Note: This is the 2nd 3-vehicle crash within about 2 miles of each other and within a span of time of about 9 hours. Please drive safely!
UPDATE 3:49 p.m.– Additional details from thr Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office: “On Thursday, January 22, 2026, at approximately 4:11 p.m., Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office deputies and area fire/rescue units responded to a serious three-vehicle crash in the 2400 block of County Trunk Highway BD in the Town of Brighton. The crash involved a Honda CR-V, a Ford Escape, and a Porsche Cayenne. Based on preliminary investigation and witness statements, the Honda was traveling southbound on CTH BD when it crossed the centerline and struck the northbound Ford head-on. Moments later, a Porsche, which was also traveling southbound, was unable to avoid the crash and struck the Honda before leaving the roadway and coming to rest in the east-side ditch. The driver of the Honda, a 75-year-old man from the City of Kenosha, was trapped in the vehicle and sustained life-threatening injuries. Despite lifesaving efforts by first responders, the driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Ford was also trapped and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. That driver was extricated and transported by Flight For Life helicopter to a Milwaukee-area hospital. The driver of the Porsche sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. However, investigators believe the crash may have been caused by a medical emergency. Roadway conditions and vehicle speeds do not appear to be factors in the crash. The Kenosha County Major Crash Assistance Team (MCAT) responded and is conducting the crash investigation. The roadway was closed for several hours while emergency responders worked the scene and investigators documented evidence. This crash remains under investigation. No further information is being released at this time. The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office reminds all motorists to remain attentive, avoid distractions, and drive safely.”
