The scene was cleared at 7:49 p.m. It’s not clear what caused the accident or if any citations were issued, any arrests were made, or if anyone was injured, but the Stevens Point Fire Department confirmed it was not asked to dispatch an ambulance to the scene.

A call to SPPD via the Portage Co. Communications Center at 8:01 p.m. seeking details was not successful.
