3 killed in Dane County crash

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:48 a.m.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Three people, including a baby, have died in a two-car crash in northern Dane County.

The sheriff's department says one car was traveling west on Highway V west of DeForest shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday when another car tried to make a U-turn directly in front of it and the two vehicles collided.

All three occupants of the car making the U-turn died at the scene. The driver and front-seat passenger who died weren't wearing seat belts. The baby was in the back, restrained in a child safety seat.

The driver of the other car, alone in the vehicle, was seriously injured and taken to University Hospital.
