COLUMBIA COUNTY, WI — Three men from Illinois were killed when their Toyota 4Runner collided with a Chevy Silverado pickup truck at around 6 p.m. Saturday on State Highway 127 near Wisconsin Dells. Police said the 4Runner failed to yield the right of way at a stop sign. The three occupants of the Toyota, all from Illinois, died at the scene, according to the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

The men were identified as Kazimierz J. Kenar, 62, of Wauconda; and Paul J. Kenar, 39, and Andrzej Marczyk, 48, both of Harwood Heights.
