Tim Wissbroecker, a Design Drafter at Major Industries, was involved in a hit-and-run accident on July 5th, 2010. Tim is an avid runner and bicyclist and was training for an upcoming triathlon when the incident occurred. The accident left Tim in critical condition, with numerous internal injuries, and he is still under close watch. Though he has a long road ahead, there are signs of improvement and it’s hoped that he will be able to make a full recovery.
Unfortunately, the driver that hit Tim has not been found, and police are still on the lookout for the vehicle and any other passengers who were at the scene. Police report that the vehicle is a newer model silver or gray Honda SUV with front passenger side damage.
The Wissbroecker family has posted a $5000 reward for information leading to an arrest/conviction in the case. In order to support the family’s efforts, and due to the criminal nature of the event, Major is matching the reward contribution up to an additional $5000. (If you have any information about this incident, the family asks that you call the Langlade County Sheriff's Department at 715-627-6411.)
