Woman, 19, Dies In I-43 Crash: Report

WAUKESHA, WI — A 19-year-old Waukesha County woman is dead after authorities say her vehicle rolled over multiple times in an accident on I-43.

On Saturday, August 11, just after 1 p.m., authorities in Waukesha received a report of a rollover vehicle crash on I-43 near Moorland Road. The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office, along with New Berlin Police and Fire Departments and Muskego Police Department responded.

Upon arrival, deputies reported that they found one car heavily damaged in the northbound lanes of I-43 just
south of Moorland Road. The sole occupant, a 19-year-old Town of Vernon woman was found deceased in the vehicle.

Authorities say that based on their initial investigation, it appeared the woman was traveling southbound on I-43 at Moorland Road and lost control of her car while attempting to change lanes and pass another
vehicle. The car drove into the median and rolled over twice coming to rest partially in the left lane of northbound I-43.

Authorities say that no other vehicles were struck and that speed may have been a factor. I-43 was shut down for several hours. The crash remains under investigation by the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
