The Hyundai then crossed in the path of a second northbound vehicle, a Ford truck driven by Larry L. Seidl, 66, of Stoughton.
The driver of the Hyundai, a 44-year-old man from Oregon, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a sheriff's office news release. The two other drivers were treated for minor injuries.
Speed and road conditions were the main factors in the crash, which remains under investigation by the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
