From surviving a car crash to becoming a basketball champion, Marshfield teen thanks medical team that helped him recover
NEENAH, Wis. (WFRV) – A Marshfield teen took the time to thank the medical team who helped him after a car crash. Eighteen-year-old Emmitt Konieczny and his mother Jen were on their way to visit Lakeland University in Sheboygan in November of last year when they were involved in a head-on car crash. Emmitt and his mom were separated, as Emmitt had to be flown to Thedacare in Neenah to get help from the trauma center.
Questions still remain from dog attack
Tensions spiked at the May 10 county law enforcement committee meeting over the handling of a February dog bite incident in the city of Medford. On February 5, eight-year-old Logan Chaffee was playing with his brother and a neighbor girl in their yard when a neighbor’s dog escaped its yard and attacked Logan. A passerby stopped the attack and returned the animal to its yard, but the animal escaped again and began chasing another youth who was riding a scooter.
