Police and Rescue personnel located the victim, a 33-year-old man from Kenosha with significant head trauma on the shoulder of 85th Street, just east of 7th Avenue. The victim was transported by ambulance to Froedtert South Pleasant Prairie. Due to the seriousness of his injuries, he was later transported to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.
