SHEBOYGAN - After fleeing a traffic stop, a 30-year-old Kewaskum man died when he lost control of his car Thursday evening, the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office said.
A Sheboygan County deputy tried to pull over the man for a moving violation shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday on State 28. Instead of stopping, the man fled, with the deputy pursuing him. The Kewaskum man lost control of his vehicle and it rolled over, coming to rest at State 28 south of State 144.
The man died at the scene. No other vehicles were involved, the sheriff's office said.
