Dane County, WI : 80-year-old woman dies in two-vehicle head-on crash in Dane County on Saturday January 30 2016.
An 80-year-old woman from the town of Brooklyn died in a two-vehicle head-on crash in Dane County Saturday, according to the sheriff's office.
The crash occurred on county Highway MM, north of county Highway A in the town of Oregon.
A Wisconsin State Patrol investigation indicates a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan driven by a man, 72, also from Brooklyn, crossed the centerline and hit a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis, driven by the 80-year-old victim.
The woman was taken by helicopter to the University of Wisconsin Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The Caravan driver, along with his two passengers — two women, 72 and 49 — were hospitalized for serious, but injuries that were not life-threatening.
Alcohol does not appear to be a contributing factor, according to a news release. This crash remains under investigation. Names are being withheld pending notification of family.
