According to a Rock County Sheriff's Department release, the accident occurred in the 4300 block of North River Road, just north of Rovers Hill Court in Janesville Township at 2:34 a.m. after the driver lost control on a curve and entered the ditch, hitting several trees.
The driver, Michael S. Manhart, 21, of Milton, and passenger Steven H. Becker, 23, of Janesville, had been ejected from the vehicle. A second passenger, Jayson B. Buchanan, 22, of Janesville, was trapped in the vehicle.
