A woman was killed in the accident involving a semitrailer truck and a station wagon, a Rock County sheriff's deputy told a Janesville Gazette photographer.

The Ford station wagon, with a Wisconsin license plate, struck the semi head-on after the station wagon crossed the centerline on Highway 11 and Century Lane, Footville, the deputy said.

Highway 11 is closed as the investigation and clean-up continues. The semi, which was carrying 40,000 pounds of cheese, was tipped on its side in the east ditch.

A third vehicle was struck by a tire that flew off the semi. The condition of the semi driver and the driver of the third vehicle remains unknown.
