LAKE, WI— Two teenagers died in a single-vehicle crash in Marinette County Saturday.
Marinette County Dispatch received an iPhone crash notification around 10:55 p.m. from Highway G in the town of Lake. A short time later, dispatch received another call from someone who came upon the crash near Loomis Road.
Sheriff’s deputies say a vehicle driven by Landen Englund, 16, of Menominee was southbound on County Highway G when he failed to negotiate a curve and left the roadway. The vehicle went into the ditch and struck a tree.
Englund was killed in the crash. His front-seat passenger, Princeton Welty, 17, of Crivitz, Wisconsin, also sustained fatal injuries. Two other passengers sustained serious injuries. One of them was ejected from the vehicle.
Speed appears to be a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
