A driver from St. Paul was killed in western Wisconsin over the weekend in a chain-reaction crash that started when she hit a deer.
The wreck occurred before dawn Saturday on eastbound Interstate 94 near Hammond, the Wisconsin State Patrol said.
Jessica A. Love, 43, of St. Paul, hit a deer about 5:45 a.m., leaving her car inoperable in the left lane, the patrol said. An SUV then struck Love's car, sending it into the ditch to the right.
Emergency responders declared Love dead at the scene, according to the patrol. Two people in the SUV, which rolled several times and came to rest in the median, suffered injuries that were not life threatening.
