According to Madison police, Del Rio's car hit a street sign, broke a fence and came to a stop in a yard at about 12:35 a.m. local time on Friday.
Del Rio, 61, was taken by police to a local hospital for a blood draw, according to the incident report.
"Wisconsin athletics is aware of the incident involving football staff member Jack Del Rio," the school said in a statement. "We take matters like this very seriously and we are continuing to gather information."
Del Rio joined Badgers head coach Luke Fickell's staff this season as a senior advisor.
Del Rio was the head coach of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11 and the then-Oakland Raiders from 2015-17, compiling an overall record of 93-94.
He has also worked as the defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers (2002), Denver Broncos (2012-14) and the Washington Commanders (2020-23).
