Town of Pembine.
The investigation indicates that a vehicle operated by Jacob J. Bruneau, age 44, of Pembine, Wisconsin
was traveling east on Cemetery Road when he failed to negotiate a curve, left the roadway, and collided
with a tree. Bruneau was flown out by the Guardian Life Flight, however, later died as a result of injuries
sustained in the crash.

Beecher Rescue, Guardian Life Flight, Integrity Cares EMS, and Tim Witt Chevrolet Towing.
