Authorities planned to canvass homes this weekend for information on a prankster who thickly wound clear plastic wrap around traffic poles across a road, causing a motorcycle accident.
Waukesha County sheriff's investigators are concerned because last year a number of parked cars were found bound in plastic wrap to prevent drivers from getting inside, Detective Steve Pederson said.
Motorcyclist Daniel Buckel, and his girlfriend Theresa Brzykcy were riding on Guthrie Road south of Waukesha, when they crashed Tuesday into the plastic wrap set up 3 to 4 feet above the two-lane road.
I can only imagine the amount of wrap it would take to do that kind of damage.
