Two fatal crashes being investigated in surrounding counties

Officials in two nearby counties are investigating two fatal crashes Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

In Outagamie County, Two people from the Black Creek area are dead following a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of County Highway S and Hample Road in the Town of Center.

Investigators believe a 17-year-old from the Bonduel area was driving an SUV northbound on Hample Road when the driver failed to stop at a stop sign and entered the intersection, striking an eastbound car.

The driver of the eastbound car, a 65-year-old man, and his passenger, a 58-year-old woman, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

The teenage driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and is cooperating with investigators.

The intersection was closed for about three and a half hours before reopening.

And in Manitowoc County, Two semis reportedly crashed on Highway 151 just east of Valders at around 1:45 p.m.

No official press release was issued for this crash, however witnesses reporting the crash stated one of the semis appeared to be ripped in half.

Wisconsin State Patrol troopers advised at least one person was killed in this crash.

Highway 151 was closed in the area for 8 hours while crews there worked the scene.
