Oshkosh police have released the names of five teenagers involved in a fatal car accident on U.S. 45 June 9.

According to police reports, Alec Bauman, a 17 year-old student at Oshkosh North High School, died Monday from injuries he sustained when his motorcycle collided with a car on U.S. 45 near Jacob Avenue. Police say Bauman was traveling south on U.S. 45 with an 18 year-old woman as a passenger when he was struck by a car driven by an 18 year-old Oshkosh man who was traveling east Jacob. An 18 year-old Appleton woman was a passenger in the car. 

The teens involved in the crash were Paul Friday, Joseph Kelbach, Ashlee Harlock, and Sarah Fuller. Police did not release each individual's age or the vehicle in which they were traveling. 

The Wisconsin State Patrol is reconstructing the crash and toxicology results are pending.

Two people were injured in a car crash in the southbound lanes of U.S. 41 Monday morning.

According to officials with the Appleton Police Department, the crash occurred shortly after 6:30 a.m.m when a 38 year-old woman was traveling north on U.S. 41 just south of Scheuring Road, in the town of Lawrence, lost control of her vehicle. The woman's vehicle hydroplaned on the slick pavement, and crossed the median where it was struck by a southbound vehicle, according to the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department.

The 38 year-old woman and the driver of the second vehicle, a 22 year-old man from Green Bay, were transported by ambulance to an area hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. The woman was cited for driving too fast for conditions, police say.

A homeless 21-year-old Appleton man appeared in court Friday for a preliminary hearing for attempted first-degree sexual assault of a child.  He is also charged with attempted strangulation and suffocation.  The mother of a 5-year-old girl told authorities that she had given the homeless man shelter for the night.  The child told her mother that the man came into her bedroom in the middle of the night, spit on her genitals and then attempted to cover her mouth and not let her go.  However, the child was able to escape. 

Authorities are considering making a motion for a mental health exam, citing problems the man has had in jail previously as well as undisclosed problems.  Befort court, the man sang and talked to himself and showed officers self-inflicted cuts on his arms.  The judge has contacted the Department of Health and Family Services to conduct the exam.  This government organization will also be the deciding factor on whether the man should go to jail or a mental institution.  He is currently in jail on a $50,000 bond.

A Wisconsin truck driver had his license suspended when he caused a four-vehicle crash that resulted in the death of two people, unleashed bees from another semi-truck and halted weekend traffic for hours.  The driver claims that he took his eyes off the road for a moment to reach for a beverage when he caused the chain-reaction collision.  Immediately after the accident, the trucker was ordered "out of service" by a police officer, meaning that he had some kind of illness, fatigue or other temporary condition that would prevent him from driving safely. 

One study cited fatigue as a critical figure in 13 percent of trucking accidents, but experts say that this is probably an under-estimation since most people would be afraid to admit they drive drowsy.  The truck driver who caused the accident has been cited for several traffic violation in the past, including two instances of driving while intoxicated and three speeding tickets.
