RACINE (WITI) — The Racine County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Tuesday morning, January 27th.




The Racine County Communications Center was advised of a two-vehicle accident on STH 75 and McNamara Road in the Town of Dover around 5:30 a.m. The was an accident between a car and a pickup truck.




The caller then advised that the car contained a female that was partially out of the vehicle and not breathing. A short time later, dispatch advised that the pickup truck had started on fire, which was extinguished by Kansasville and Union Grove Fire Departments.




Upon arrival, rescue workers began to perform CPR on the operator of the car. She was later transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.




A preliminary investigation indicates that the car was traveling southbound on STH 75 while the pickup truck was headed northbound on STH 75.  Officials say the car began to fish tail and crossed over the center line — causing a head-on collision.




Both operators were wearing their seatbelts. It appears that speed and road conditions were factors.




The name of the deceased is not being released pending notification of relatives.



This is an ongoing investigation.
