Shullsburg man killed in crash
Shullsburg man killed in crash
LANCASTER - A two-car, head-on crash on Highway 61 about 5 miles north of here killed a Shullsburg man Friday afternoon and injured three others.

Dead is Edward Hofer, 18, the driver of one of the vehicles. His two pas-sengers, Douglas King, 19, Mineral Point, and Mickey Mau, 18, Shullsburg, were taken to Lancaster Memorial Hospital, but King later was transfered to a Dubuque, la., hospital.

The driver of the second vehicle, Edward Straka, 70, Lancaster, also was hospitalized at Lancaster.

A Grant County Sheriff's Dept. spokesman said the accident occured about 3:40 p.m. when Straka apparently crossed the center line of the highway and struck the car driven by Hofer.
The accident is under investigation, the spokesman said.

Edward Frederick Hofer
Edward Frederick Hofer Jul 29, 1957 - Sep 19, 1975 Grant County, Wisconsin, United States
Edward Frederick Hofer was born on July 29, 1957 in Hazel Green, WI to parents Edna Mae Humphrey and Frederick Charles Hofer. He grew up in Shullsburg, Wisconsin and attended Shullsburg High School there. After high school, he was a student of Southwest Wisconsin Technical College in Fennimore, Wisconsin. On September 19, 1975 Ed was involved in a head-on collision on hwy. 61 that took his life and injured three other people. Edward was instantly killed in the crash. The accident happened on a straight stretch of dry pavement, half a mile north of Rogers Branch bridge. Straka, driving a pickup truck, apparently crossed the center line into the path of the Hofer car. Hofer, King, and Man were on their way home from Southwest Tech in Fennimore, where they attended school. Edward Hofer's body remained trapped in the wrecked car for nearly an hour. Gasoline from a ruptured tank had soaked the rear of the vehicle, and the Fennimore rescue squad avoided using a cutting torch or power saw due to fire risk. The body was finally freed when a wrecker pulled the wreck apart. See more about the accident that caused his death at One Killed, Three Injured In Crash on Highway 61.
