MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - A man has died after a motorcycle crash in Grant County, officials announced Monday.

The crash happened around 7 p.m. Sunday on CTH X, in the town of Wyalusing, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office said.

A UTV operator called the department after hearing a loud noise several hundred feet behind them. The individual told officers they believed someone had crashed into a heavily wooded ditch, and when they stopped to check, they found a motorcycle had crashed.

The Sheriff’s Department arrived and found Taylor Blizard, 31, of Prairie du Chien dead at the scene.
