AMHERST JUNCTION, WI (WSAU) — A Black River Falls woman is dead after a single-car crash at the intersection of Highway 10 and County Highway B in Portage County.
The State Patrol says the incident happened Sunday afternoon at 12:15 when Janice Clary’s Lincoln Towncar was exiting Highway 10. Officers said she approached the bottom of the ramp at a high rate of speed, missed the stop sign, and rolled into the ditch after crossing both lanes of County B.
The Clary was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Her 81-year-old passenger Phillip Volden was taken to Aspirus Wausau for non-life threatening injuries. Names of those involved have not been released pending notification of next-of-kin.
Alcohol was not a factor in the incident. Both individuals were wearing their seatbelts. The Wisconsin State Patrol is continuing to investigate the incident.
