A GoFundMe fundraiser is supporting 16-year-old New Glarus High School student Sophie Vasquez after she was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash Tuesday, July 7, near the intersection of Franklin and Bethel roads south of Monroe.

The fundraiser, titled “Help Support Sophie’s Recovery,” is available at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-support-sophies-recovery-8ythh.

Sophie’s mother, Vicki Vasquez, said her daughter was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the crash and remained hospitalized Thursday at American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison.

Vasquez described Sophie as a loving daughter, sibling and friend who plays soccer and basketball and has a deep love for animals. She asked the community to continue keeping Sophie in its thoughts and prayers as she begins what is expected to be a long recovery.

Emergency dispatch recordings indicate the crash was reported shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday near Franklin and Bethel roads. One vehicle had rolled onto its roof, and emergency personnel reported multiple patients at the scene.

Monroe Rural Fire Department, Monroe Emergency Medical Services and Green County sheriff’s deputies responded. Three ambulances were dispatched, and Monroe City Fire Department was called to help establish a landing zone for a UW Health Med Flight helicopter.

Firefighters were also requested to perform an extrication after emergency personnel reported that at least one person was trapped inside a vehicle. Roads surrounding the intersection were temporarily blocked in all four directions while crews worked at the scene.

The dispatch recordings do not provide the cause of the crash or identify the drivers. Additional information from law enforcement about the circumstances of the collision was not immediately available.

The GoFundMe was organized to help Sophie’s family with expenses associated with her hospitalization, recovery and the time family members will spend away from work while remaining at her side.
