Wausau Pilot & Review
Police have identified the 50-year-old driver who died Friday in a two-vehicle crash as Shannon Deshannon, of Wisconsin Dells.
The crash, between a pickup and a semi tractor trailer, was reported just before 11 a.m. Friday in the area of Hwy. 13 and Adams County Hwy. K in the town of Dell Prairie. Deputies and responders arriving at the scene had a difficult time accessing Deshannon, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle.
A medical helicopter was dispatched to the scene but Deshannon died before being transferred to the flight.
Adams County officials say a northbound truck crossed the center line into the southbound lane of travel on Hwy. 13 and collided with an oncoming semi.
This crash remains under investigation.
