The release of some of the 911 calls for that major pileup on Interstate 41 at Neenah demonstrates just how helpless those involved in the pileup were. One woman was frightened and inconsolable as she watched others crash into surrounding vehicles. Woman: “There’s a huge pileup people, I (unintelligible).” Dispatcher, “Mam, mam, mam.” Woman: “Help, help, help.” Dispatcher: “Mam…mam.” Woman: “Help me, help me, help me.” The woman then exited her vehicle as the dispatcher pleaded with her to get back in her vehicle. Then her line went dead. Seventy-one people were injured in the 131-vehicle pileup and 30-year-old Andrew Schefelker of Oshkosh was killed.
