Village of Mukwonago - A North Prairie man who was severely injured in a motorcycle accident Sunday, May 15, in the village of Mukwonago died later that night, according to those close to him. The cause of death is still unknown due to the unusual circumstances surrounding his death.
As 48-year-old Danny Weber was being taken to Froedtert Hospital, the ambulance carrying him was involved in a collision near 92nd Street and Oklahoma in Milwaukee, the cause of which is still under investigation.
Weber was being taken to the hospital after a crash on Highway 83 at Black Bear Boulevard in Mukwonago. According to Mukwonago Police Chief Kevin Schmidt, Weber was northbound on Highway 83 on a motorcycle when a 2008 Mercury sedan pulled out from Black Bear Boulevard to head south on 83. Weber's motorcycle struck the rear of the sedan.
The driver of the car, a 91-year-old man from Burlington, was taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
Weber, who was not wearing a helmet, sustained a serious head injury when he was thrown from his motorcycle, said Schmidt.
Mukwonago Fire Chief Jeff Stien said Weber was in very critical condition before he was transported by the Mukwonago Fire Department ambulance, but he is unsure whether "anything after that contributed" to his death.
