Beaver Dam Man Sentenced On Vehicular Homicide Charges

16 September 2021 News


A 36-year-old Beaver Dam man was sentenced in Dodge County court Wednesday to 21and half years in prison and 19 years of extended supervision on vehicular homicide and other charges stemming from a July 30th, 2019 accident on Dodge County Road E that killed one person and injured six others. Dustin Vandergalien was passing another vehicle when he clipped a vehicle in the other lane causing it to go in a ditch and then hit another vehicle head on. The second crash killed a man who was a passenger in that vehicle. Vandergalien admitted to officers he had been drinking before the crash and a blood test revealed he also had been doing cocaine. One witness explained that Vandergalien had been driving erratically for miles before reaching the crash, and after passing her vehicle, remained in the oncoming lane of traffic for an extended period of time causing the crash.
