-Another crash occurred in Black River Falls on Friday.
Just before 8:00, Sheriff's authorities and Black River Falls EMS/Fire were called to the scene of a second crash. This crash was reported to be at the intersection of County Highway H and State Highway 54 in the Township of Albion.
Upon arrival, authorities found that two vehicles had collided at the intersection with both vehicles coming to rest in a field southeast of the intersection.
It appears that a pick-up failed to stop at an intersection when it collided with a southbound vehicle.
The driver of the pick-up was reportedly ejected from his vehicle. The two occupants of the passenger vehicle were trapped.
24-year-old Kayla Konemann of Lyndon Station died as a result of the crash. The driver of the vehicle that Konemann was traveling in was identified as 26-year-old Myles Vollmer of Portage.
Vollmer was later air lifted by air ambulance to a local hospital for medical treatment. His condition at the time of the crash was critical.
The driver of the pick-up was identified as 35-year-old Thomas Jahnke of Black River Falls.
Jahnke was also air lifted to a local medical facility for medical treatment of injuries sustained in this crash. His condition at the time of the incident was also believed to be critical as well.
Current conditions of the surviving parties are not currently known.
