WEST POINT, Wis. (AP) — A pickup truck and a car collided on a highway in central Wisconsin, leaving five people dead.
The head-on crash happened about 11:25 a.m. Sunday on Highway 60 in the town of West Point, the Columbia County sheriff’s office said in a post on social media.
The car is believed to have crossed the center line of the highway into the path of the pickup.
The 70-year-old driver of the pickup was pronounced dead at the scene. The 17-year-old driver of the car and two of her passengers — ages 62 and 42 — also died at the scene. A 26-year-old passenger in the car died at a hospital.
The Town of West Point is about 33 miles (53 kilometers) northwest of Madison.
