The person killed in Sunday massive pileup on I-41 at Neenah has been identified. Winnebago County Sheriff John Matz identified the man killed as 30-year-old Andrew Schefelker of Oshkosh, a teacher with the Iola-Scandinavia School District. Also he says, “Based on a cursory check of Wisconsin crash report records it is believed this incident is the largest traffic crash in the state’s history.” Despite the chaotic situation, Chief Deputy Todd Christopherson says many things went right. “What went right during this incident is within two hours we essentially had everybody diverted from that location. All people into a warming center, and all people at the hospital.” The massive chain reaction in the southbound lanes of I-41 at Neenah involved 131 vehicles and injured 71 people. Investigators are still working out exactly what happened. (Courtesy the Wisconsin Radio Network)
