🚧 ROAD CLOSED MEANS ROAD CLOSED! 🚧

We’ve been seeing vehicles driving around road closed signs, and we need your help keeping everyone safe.

Road closed signs are there for a reason. Whether it’s road construction, flooding, unsafe conditions, or another hazard, driving past these signs can put you, your passengers, and emergency crews at risk.

Please remember:
🚫 Do not drive around road closed signs or barricades.
⚠️ Do not assume the road is safe just because it looks passable.
🔄 Find another route and follow posted detours.

Road closures are not suggestions. They are put in place to protect you and others.

Please help us keep our community safe by respecting road closures and sharing this reminder with others.

Rest in peace, Trooper Ritger. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wisconsin State Patrol, the loved ones of Trooper Ritger, and the entire law-enforcement community during this incredibly difficult time.

It is with profound sadness that the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Wisconsin State Patrol announce the line-of-duty death of Trooper Bradley Ritger at the age of 29.

On September 21, 2026, Trooper Ritger was responding to a traffic pursuit when he deployed a tire deflation device on a bridge deck west of the Dunn County/Eau Claire County line. As he moved to a position of cover, he fell from the bridge onto the roadway below. Despite lifesaving efforts and critical medical care, Trooper Ritger succumbed to his injuries on October 2, 2026.

Trooper Ritger joined the Wisconsin State Patrol as a member of the 67th Recruit Class. He served in the Northwest Region for nearly five years, primarily in the Dunn County area. During his career, he attained certifications as a general law enforcement instructor, mobile field force team member and squad leader, and salvage vehicle inspector. Prior to his service with the Wisconsin State Patrol, Trooper Ritger served with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections for three years.

Trooper Ritger was a dedicated public servant whose strong work ethic and positive presence left a lasting impact on anyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He approached every situation with professionalism, integrity and a genuine commitment to serving others. Whether assisting the public, supporting his fellow troopers, or taking on difficult challenges, he consistently demonstrated compassion and willingness to help wherever needed. His dedication to his family and unwavering commitment to his profession will not be forgotten.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Trooper Ritger’s family, friends, loved ones and all who served alongside him. As the community mourns, the Wisconsin State Patrol has placed a law enforcement memorial vehicle at its Northwest Region Post in Eau Claire where the public is welcome to drop off cards, flowers, or other condolences.

Out of respect for the family, no additional information will be shared at this time. Funeral arrangements are being made by the family. We kindly ask media and the public to respect their privacy and space for grieving.
