On August 26, 2023 at 5:05 PM, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a single UTV crash on Oak Road, south of Elm Road in Paris Township. The incident involved Jarvis Eastlick, 47 years old, from rural Lancaster. Eastlick was traveling north on Oak Road in a 2020 Polaris General 1000 UTV when he lost control while negotiating a curve in the roadway.

As a result of losing control, Eastlick’s UTV veered into the southbound lane. Eastlick’s UTV continued across the lane, entering the ditch on the east side of the road where it overturned several times. Eastlick was ejected from the UTV. The UTV came to rest in a pasture on the east side of the roadway. The UTV pinned Eastlick underneath it. Emergency crews arrived on scene, removed the UTV from Eastlick, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Dickeyville Fire Department, Dickeyville EMS, Wisconsin DNR, and Bennett’s Automotive Services and Towing. There’s an investigation going on by the Wisconsin DNR.
