Winnebago County, WI : 22-year-old Kaukauna woman killed and three others injured after a three-vehicle crash on State Highway 76 on Wednesday, April 13, 2016

A 22-year-old Kaukauna woman was killed and three others were injured Wednesday after a three-vehicle crash on State Highway 76, authorities said.

The Winnebago County Sheriff's Office responded about 3:50 p.m. to a 911 call about a crash with injuries on Highway 76 at Kellett Road, Lt. Joe Kroncke said. Authorities are not releasing the woman's name pending notification of her family.

Two vehicles were traveling south on Highway 76 and became involved in a crash, though authorities were unsure how the crash occurred, Kroncke said. One of the vehicles hit the other from behind, pushing it into oncoming traffic, where it collided with a third vehicle traveling north. A female occupant of the vehicle that crossed the center line died.

At least three other people were taken to ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah for nonlife-threatening injuries, he said.

A black vehicle involved in the crash was covered with a tarp as authorities spent the next few hours gathering statements from witnesses, and a crash reconstruction team was at the scene.

All lanes on State Highway 76 were closed from Winnebago County G to Winnebago County GG for about 3½ hours and reopened about 7:20 p.m., according to the Wisconsin State Patrol, which also responded to the scene, along with the Town of Vinland First Responders and the Winnebago County Highway Department.
