According to a press release by the Racine County Sheriff’s Department, someone called the Racine County Joint Dispatch Center saying that the driver “blew a stop sign.” Albrecht drove her car on the gravel shoulder. She then left the roadway and struck a barn near Pine Street and Schaal Road.
Continuing 150 yards through an open field, she drove through two wooden animal fences and into an animal pasture. None of the animals in the pasture were injured. But the car came to a stop when it struck a pile of wooden pallets.
