Vehicles Collide, One Crashes Into Building

Two elderly Butler residents were transported to Chilton Memorial Hospital Monday afternoon after their vehicle collided with another vehicle and hit a building. 

Butler police received a report of a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Main Street and Park Place at about 1:45 p.m. Upon arrival, patrols discovered a collision involving two motor vehicles. 

The investigation revealed that Holzberger, the 89-year-old driver, had failed to stop to oncoming traffic as he emerged from Park Place onto Main Street, police said. Holzberger collided with a 2002 Saturn driven by a 48-year-old Butler resident, Suzanne Sheehy, who was traveling east on Main Street, police said.

After the collision, Holzberger's Ford continued before it collided into the building located at 130 Main St., police said.

Holzberger and his 94-year-old passenger were treated for back and hand injuries. None of the injuries appeared to be life threatening, police said. Holzberger was issued a summons for careless driving, police said.

The roadway was partially closed for approximately 45 minutes as the incident was being investigated, police said.

The investigation was conducted by Sgt. Scott Ricker assisted by Patrolman Victor Scott and the Butler Fire Department.
