Authorities are investigating a car vs. tractor crash that left several people hurt Tuesday night, the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department said.
A 16-year-old driver rear-ended a tractor on STH 75 near the Brightondale Golf Course. The Salem teen's 2001 Pontiac Sunfire then flipped forward and rolled left, crossing into oncoming traffic and colliding with a 2005 Chevy Malibu.
Flight for Life brought the the driver of the Pontiac to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee. The driver of the Malibu, a 20-year-old woman New Muenster, along with her two passengers, a 21 year old and 15 year old, were also injured and taken to area hospitals. The driver of the tractor, a 58-year-old man from Kansasville, suffered minor injuries.
Kenosha County investigators still haven't determined why the teenager's car hit the tractor.
