TOWN OF STEPHENSON, WI (WTAQ) – A Green Bay woman has died and three children are injured following a crash in Marinette County.
Officials say it happened at 6:06 a.m. Wednesday on Airport Road near Devils Lake Road in the Town of Stephenson.
Deputies on scene say the SUV was off the road and had struck some pine trees.
The 34-year-old woman driving the vehicle had to be extricated, before being rushed to the hospital. She died on the way.
Two girls, ages 7 and 10, and a 6-year-old boy were passengers. The 7-year-old girl and the 6-year-old boy were severely injured and flown to the hospital.
The 10-year-old girl was able to free herself from the SUV and walked to a nearby home to call for help, officials say. She was then taken to the hospital to treat her injuries.
Officials say the lack of seat belt use in this crash is a factor in the death and serious injuries.
The cause remains under investigation.
