Employees turning up for work at a Wheatland wholesale business found a pickup truck in flames, a person still inside.

Those workers tried to get the person out of the vehicle, but were unable to do so. When Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputies and the Wheatland Fire Department arrived at the parking lot of Best Bargains, 6515 352nd Ave, shortly after the 7:37 a.m. 911 call, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames. The person inside was still in the driver’s seat.

The vehicle, a small pickup, was parked alone in the lot on the north side of the business, largely blocked from view from the street.

Kenosha Sheriff’s Department investigators were on the scene working to determine the cause of the fire, which burned the engine compartment and cab of the truck.

An autopsy will determine the cause of death.

Sgt. Eric Klinkhammer said he did not know if the victim was conscious when witnesses attempted to get him out of the truck.

Best Bargains is a wholesale food and supplies business. Customers continued to arrive at the business as investigators worked in a taped-off area of the parking lot. Employees put up a “closed due to emergency” sign at the door.

No other information about the person found in the vehicle has been released.
