UPDATE: Saturday, May 31, 2008 -- 2:30pm

**Release from Dane County Sheriff's Office**

At 1:45am, on Saturday, May 31, 2008, Dane County Sheriff's Deputies, along with Belleville Police and New Glarus Fire Department and EMS, responded to a reported roll-over crash on STH 92, .2 mile north of STH 69 in the Town of Primrose. First arriving units found the driver, and lone occupant, on the ground between the car and a tree.

Investigators on scene believe the 24-year-old driver, Todd J. Podach of Brooklyn, Wisconsin, operating a 2003 Mazda 6S, failed to negotiate a curve on STH 92 while traveling southbound. After traveling through the east ditch for approximately 250 feet, the car began to roll end over end, ejecting Podach out of the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the assistant coroner.

The crash remains under investigation. Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash. Podach was not wearing a seatbelt.

To Todd: You called me out of the blue that night after a year. How strage life is, how unexpected. We were always drawn to each other. We were always friends, even after everything. The world experiences a loss because you're not here. I have so many good memories of you, of us, really great times. I think about you daily. You will always be a part of me. You impressed me. I wish comfort to your family and everyone else you impacted in your short but meaningful life. Rest in peace my friend.
