More details have emerged about the accident in Wisconsin that claimed the life of New Berlin’s police chief.

76-year-old Terry Nydegger was killed in the accident Monday, while returning from vacation.

Wisconsin state transportation officials say Nydegger was traveling next to an SUV when the vehicles collided. The force of the impact sent Nydegger’s pick up truck across the median, where it was struck by two semis in the oncoming lane.

State police in Wisconsin says the SUV driver left the scene in another vehicle, and the accident is being investigated as a hit and run accident. The accident happened on Interstate 90/94.

Funeral services for Terry Nydegger are pending.
