On Sunday a 70-year-old Missouri man riding a dirt bike crashed into a stopped vehicle near the Emery Lane and Woller Drive intersection in Vandenbroek — he was flown by ThedaStar to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries while the 34-year-old driver did not sustain injuries.

Appleton fire officials said that multiple dumpster fires occurred overnight on July 4 due to leftover fireworks that were not properly soaked before disposal — one fire spread to a nearby structure and caused exterior damage.
