Photos: Tour Bus To From NY To Minnesota Flips In Wisconsin

A bus carrying tourists from New York to Minnesota was upended in an auto accident on Highway 35 on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday July 15, 2017 at 2:19 p.m., the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office responded to three-vehicle crash on Highway 35 at 200th Ave. in the town of Somerset.

Preliminary investigation and witness statements indicate a 2009 Pontiac Vibe, driven by Hannah R. Erickson, age 19, from Somerset, Wisconsin was northbound on Highway 35 and going to make a left turn to go west on 200th Ave. Witnesses report the car stopped suddenly. A 2005 GMC Envoy driven by Mackenzie M. Marty, age 20 from Somerset was also northbound on Highway 35.

To avoid a collision, the Envoy went onto the shoulder of the road around the Vibe, over-corrected and went into the southbound lane of Highway 35.
