Traffic is blocked on Avalon Road near Interstate 90/39 in La Prairie Township, according to Wisconsin State Patrol dispatch reports.

Troopers are blocking the road while accident reconstructionists work after a motorcycle versus trailer accident at 4:08 p.m.

It was the second of three accidents within 15 minutes that required responses from the Rock County Sheriff’s Office and several other departments.

A one-vehicle rollover accident took place at 4:04 p.m. at Highway 59 and Washington Road in Porter Township.

A motorcycle and pickup truck crashed at 4:13 p.m. at Highway 14 and Union Road in Union Township.

The Janesville Gazette will report details of the crashes as soon as they are available from authorities.

I live on Delavan Dr. Almost every day i see someone on a motorcycle running through here like it is a dragstrip. I have seen many people do wheelies for blocks. Every summer we have to hear about people killed on motorcycles because of negligence. Please, for those you love,ride safe,be careful,pay attention,and never assume that you won't be the next person to make the news!
