Two people were injured after a head-on collision last Friday afternoon in Hudson Township.

According to an article in the Hudson Star Observer, authorities received a call that a crash had occurred in front of 669 County Road N near the intersection with Baker Road about 3:40 p.m.

“Jessica Schutz, 17,  from Hudson Township was traveling westbound on County Road N in a 2008 Dodge Caravan when it collided with a 1997 Dodge Ram traveling eastbound, according to Wisconsin State Patrol Sgt. Brian Erickson,” the article reads. “The driver of the truck is 62-year-old David Hake from River Falls, authorities said.”

Hake was reportedly transported by ambulance to Regions Hospital with significant injuries. Schutz was taken by ambulance to Hudson Hospital with unknown injuries before being transferred to Regions after the crash, the Hudson Star Observer reports.

Schutz received a citation for driving left of the center line, according to State Patrol. Wisconsin State Patrol is still investigating the crash.
