MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say three people were killed when a wrong-way driver crashed into another vehicle on Interstate 94 near Menomonie in western Wisconsin. The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office and Wisconsin State Patrol say it happened just before 5:45 p.m. Thursday. Dispatchers received complaints about a black car that had crossed the median and was westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-94. After about three miles, the black car crashed into a gray car. The gray car started on fire and all three people inside died. The driver of the black car was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. It wasn’t immediately clear if the wrong-way driver will face criminal charges or if alcohol or drugs were involved. The State Patrol is investigating.
