Wausaukee man killed in 2-vehicle crash in Marinette County

AMBERG, WI— A Marinette County man was killed Friday when he pulled out in front of another vehicle in Amberg.

The Marinette County Sheriff’s Office says around 3:12 p.m., Central Dispatch received a report of a two-vehicle crash on US-141 near County Highway K. Someone was reportedly trapped underneath a vehicle.

Deputies say Aiden Vanpembrook, 22, of Green Bay was northbound on the highway when Russell Reynolds, 58, of Wausaukee pulled out of a private driveway and struck Vanpembrook’s vehicle.

Reynolds, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from his car and sustained fatal injuries.

Failure to yield the right of way appears to be a factor in the accident, which remains under investigation.

Assisting at the scene were the Amberg Fire Department, Wausaukee Fire Department, Wausaukee Rescue, and Integrity Paramedics Intercept.
