NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (FOX 9) - A man died Friday night after a school bus rolled onto him at the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
According to the St. Croix Sheriff’s Office, during the season opener, a safety crew member was clearing the track during the school bus races when a damaged bus rolled onto him.
He died at the scene. It was the speedway’s first race since the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the governor’s safer at home order earlier in the week.
The speedway cancelled races scheduled for Saturday night. The man was identified as 62-year-old Edward Nicholson. Authorities are asking anyone with video from the race to contact the investigator at 715-381-5808. Statement from Cedar Lake Speedway: Cedar Lake Speedway
