Joseph Godbert, a 59-year-old British citizen, was driving north on Interstate 43 at 5 p.m. when his SUV blew a tire and had the rollover crash. He was not wearing a seatbelt, and died at the accident scene from trauma to the head and chest.
According to a witness, Godbert was speeding at about 80 mph when he passed a car in the left lane. He was moving back to the right lane when his tire went out.
Godbert was originally a carpenter but had spent the last 27 years working for Kohler Co. as a display technician
So far this year three people have been killed in Sheboygan County in vehicular accidents, a fraction of last year’s 12 fatalities.
When he was young, Godbert was “an elite soccer player” in England, according to the Sheboygan Press.
He had lived in the United States for three decades, but kept his British citizenship.
