Overview
- The two-vehicle collision occurred around 7:41 p.m. Sunday at the four-way stop of Old Highway 169 and Aberdeen Avenue when a Ford Bronco struck a Mazda Miata, killing the 69-year-old Miata driver and seriously injuring his 65-year-old wife.
- Officers arrested 38-year-old Drew Bergman of Jordan at the scene after they reported signs of intoxication, and they collected a blood sample that is awaiting lab results.
- Investigators say they found 27 open, empty or partially empty alcoholic-beverage containers in the Bronco, including numerous 50‑milliliter bottles and an empty Fireball whiskey container, details that are included in the criminal complaint.
- Charging documents filed Monday accuse Bergman of two counts each of criminal vehicular homicide and criminal vehicular operation plus an open-bottle violation, and he is being held in the Scott County Jail pending a bail hearing.
- The complaint notes prior impaired-driving incidents in Wisconsin (2016) and a guilty plea in North Dakota (December 2025), and prosecutors say the blood-alcohol result and witness statements about speed and failure to stop will be central to the case.
