The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office is investigating a deadly car crash in the Town of Bradley.

It happened Sunday night before 7:30 on County Highway S south of Crass Road.

Deputies from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene along with an Officer from the Tomahawk Police Department, Tomahawk Fire, and Tomahawk Ambulance.

It took a while for responders to find the driver.
