The Dodge County sheriff says a Juneau man may be alive today if he had been wearing a seatbelt. Twenty eight year old John Armentrout was killed last week when his car was broadsided by a semi truck at the intersection of state Highway 67 and Town Road MM. Armentrout was not wearing a safety belt and was ejected from his car and pronounced dead at the scene. Sheriff Dale Schmidt says if Armentrout had been buckled in he probably would have survived. “When we stood out there and looked at that car, the driver’s compartment area was virtually untouched,” Schmidt told WFDL news. A few days before the crash the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office announced it was participating in the Click it or Ticket seatbelt enforcement campaign.
