OREGON, Wis. — The Dane County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a truck driver found a body on the side of the road near Oregon Wednesday evening.
Sheriff’s office spokesperson Elise Schaffer said the driver reported finding a body in a ditch on the side of the road in the area of County Highways MM and A shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The circumstances surrounding the person’s death, including when and how they died, are unclear, Schaffer said.
“What we’re asking is that anybody that lives nearby that might have Ring doorbell footage, that might’ve… heard or seen anything in the last 24 hours, we’d certainly like them to reach out to us,” she said.
Deputies are canvassing the area and talking to neighbors to try to piece together what happened.
Highway MM was closed for several hours for the investigation. It reopened at 11:45 p.m. Wednesday night.
CTH MM south of CTH A is currently closed in both directions for a fatality investigation. Please find an alternative route.
