STEPHENSON, WI— A 5-year-old girl was killed in a two-vehicle crash in Marinette County last week.
Sheriff Randy Miller says it happened around 4 p.m. Thursday on County Highway X near Newton Lake Road in the town of Stephenson.
A vehicle driven by Kurtis Roskom, 48, of Crivitz was northbound on Newton Lake Road when he stopped at a stop sign. He proceeded into the intersection and struck an eastbound vehicle driven by 29-year-old Dylan Klempke of Crivitz.
The collision caused the Klempke vehicle to roll onto its side and partially eject an unrestrained child. 5-year-old Stella Klempke was pronounced dead at the scene.
Failure to yield from a stop sign and failure to use a child restraint system appear to be factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.
