According to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office:
On Saturday, August 23, 2008 at approximately 4:22 p.m., the Jackson County Sheriff's Office received a report of a crash involving an ATV and a motor vehicle on Fish Creek Road in the Township of Knapp. The ATV driver identified as Karen Gibson, age 60 of Brodhead, Wis., was killed in the crash. A female child passenger on the ATV received non-life threatening injuries. The operator of the motor vehicle identified as Phillip J. Holloway, age 23 of Warrens, Wis., was taken into custody and is currently being held in the Jackson County Jail pending possible charges related to the crash. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this incident.
There were three other crashes reported in Jackson County over the weekend which are believed to be alcohol related in nature. These crashes remind us of the consequences of drinking and driving along with the tragic results to the victims involved. Sheriff Duane Waldera strongly encourages everyone to avoid drinking and driving; and to remember the importance of safe and responsible driving.

The questions should start going to the judge who relased Phillip on a bond! Are you serious! A repeat offender kills someone and is released on a bond and from my family i understand it was a signature bond! As for both families feeling the pain...unless Phillip is killed by a drunk driver tomorrow then they have no clue! I pray for his mother and we can only blame Phillip! However if I had to pick seeing my Aunt Karen on visitation days verses visiting a Graveyard I choose Orange jump suits! If anything good could come of this which is what I feel Karen would want;it would be strict laws and a break down on drinking in driving...4 DUI accidents and 1 death in a weekend is not a track record this town should want!

We all read very well,and can tell you are trying to place blame on the deceased. You need to get a life, and when you do maybe you will see that the fact remains, HE WAS DRUNK AND DRIVING AND KILLED.....THE END.
