Two killed in I-90 crash
From the WCLO newsroom:
Traffic on I-90 at the Newville exit was blocked for several hours Tuesday night following a two vehicle accident that resulted in two deaths.
The Wisconsin State Patrol reports a minivan carrying six people went out of control, crossed the median and struck a passenger car in the oncoming lanes of traffic around 8:00.
Killed in the crash was a 54-year-old female and six-year-old male from Rochester, Minnesota who were passengers in the van. The driver of the van, 24-year-old Kelly Waites, also of Rochester, and the other passengers sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the other vehicle, 25-year-old Jeffrey Albertini of Madison also sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The injured were treated at Edgerton Hospital and Mercy Hospital in Janesville.

you are correct the barriers are meant to keep this from happening....unfortunately there are none in that stretch of road yet. I was about 20 cars back from the accident as well and very sad indeed to see any loss of life. those that survived it were very lucky!!

I thought the new median barriers were supposed to prevent this type of crash?

I can't believe anyone survived that crash. I was on my way home from work and was stuck in it. My prayers are with the people injured and the families of those that lost their lives. Alcohol or not.
