WAUKESHA, Wis. (WFRV) – A man and woman in their 90s are dead following a multi-vehicle crash involving a semi truck Monday afternoon, authorities say.
According to a release from the Waukesha Police Department, deputies responded to a multi-vehicle crash at 3:16 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 164 and Lawnsdale Road in the Village of Waukesha.
Officials say a 44-year-old man was driving a semi truck south on Highway 164 while a vehicle driven by a 91-year-old woman was heading north.
The 91-year-old woman allegedly attempted to make a left turn onto Lawnsdale Road but crossed right into the path of the semi-truck, which hit the vehicle, causing that vehicle to push and crash into another vehicle stopped at the intersection.
The 91-year-old woman and her passenger, a 92-year-old man, were both pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the semi and of the third vehicle were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash caused the intersection to be closed for several hours. No other information is available as an investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
