Woman dies from injuries caused by construction zone crash in WI

DUNBAR, WI--   An Amberg, Wisconsin woman has died from injuries sustained in a multiple-vehicle crash in Marinette County.

It happened Wednesday around 11:40 a.m. in the paving construction zone of US Highway 8 near Youngs Lake Road in the town of Dunbar.

As eastbound traffic was being flagged to stop in the construction zone, one vehicle failed to slow. It rear-ended a sedan and pushed it into a truck pulling a trailer.

The two occupants of the sedan and the driver of the vehicle that hit it were injured. Thursday morning a passenger in the sedan—59-year-old Jami Marie of Amberg—died as a result of complications from her injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
