Wrong-way driver crashes into a vehicle on I-43, killing both drivers
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said a wrong-way driver on I-43 crashed into a vehicle, killing both drivers.
Shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday, sheriff's deputies were dispatched to southbound I-43, just south of South Chase Avenue for reports of a serious crash blocking all lanes of traffic.
The preliminary investigation determined the crash occurred after 27-year-old Ivy Caldwell was driving north in the southbound lanes when she hit 19-year-old Tyler Anderson, according to the sheriff's office and Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
Both Caldwell and Anderson were pronounced dead a short time after deputies arrived.
It is unclear where Caldwell entered the highway. An investigation into the crash and the deaths is ongoing, the sheriff's office said.
