Crash on I-94 sends four to hospitals
BALDWIN — At approximately 8:45 a.m. on December 12 on I94 westbound at U.S. Highway 63N in St. Croix County just west of Baldwin, an eastbound Chevy Equinox traveled through the median, and struck a west bound Toyota Prius and a Ford Fusion. The Chevy and the Toyota were then struck by a west bound semi-tractor trailer unit.
The female driver in the Chevy was ejected from her vehicle. Two other subjects were trapped in the Toyota and needed to be extracted by rescue units.
The ejected driver was transported to Regions hospital in St. Paul but succumbed to her injuries there. The two occupants of the Toyota were also transported to Regions with serious injuries. The driver of the Ford was transported to River Falls Hospital with minor injuries.
I94 west bound was shut down for the crash investigation and the posted alternate route was activated. The crash is still under investigation by the Wisconsin State Patrol.
