A Wausau man that was arrested last year on his fourth drunk driving conviction plead guilty this week to drunk driving and texting.

The 37 year-old man was intoxicated last October and texting on his cellphone when he rear-ended a squad car on Bridge Street. The officer found empty beer cans in the man’s car along with an uncased rifle and bullet. In the backseat were uncased bows and arrows.

The driver blew a 0.132 on a preliminary breathalyzer test, over the legal limit of 0.08. Due to his prior convictions, the man is not allowed to have a blood alcohol content over 0.04.

For the fourth consecutive year, less than 600 people died on Wisconsin roadways.

Last year, 569 people lost their lives on Wisconsin roads, 59 fewer than the five-year average but seven more than in 2010. The last time the state had fewer than 600 highway deaths for four years in a row was in 1924-1927.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, motorcycle deaths dropped 18 percent from 2010, from 103 to 85 fatalities. Unfortunately, pedestrian and vehicular deaths increased. The director of the DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Safety said that there is no specific trend that accounted for the decrease in traffic deaths and that most fatal crashes were a result of poor driving habits and reckless decisions.
