Various media reports say that the woman who was killed was a 46-year-old Freedom, Wisconsin resident. Her name was not released to the media as of Wednesday afternoon.

“The crash happened at about 3:30 a.m. when a vehicle traveling northbound on Freedom Road struck an SUV headed southbound, according to a statement released by the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department,” an article by the Post-Crescent News reads. “The woman driving the SUV died at the scene, said Lt. Terry Hammen.”

Two people were reportedly in the northbound vehicle, a 20-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man, both from De Pere. Both received injuries as a result of the head-on crash.

“The woman was flown to ThedaCare Medical Center-Neenah by ThedaStar and is in critical condition, said JP Heim, ThedaCare spokesman,” the article reads. “The man was taken to St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, but USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin was not able to immediately verify his condition.”
