A person has died after a freeway crash that led to a lane and freeway ramp closure in Ozaukee County on Wednesday.
The Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office says that someone died in a crash at or near the ramp from I-43 northbound to Highway 33 in Saukville.
The crash happened before 8:45 a.m. Wednesday. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation first estimated that the ramp and right lane of I-43 would be closed until about 12:30 p.m. or longer.
There was no initial word on the reason for the crash. Heavy snow was falling in Southeastern Wisconsin at the time, leading to numerous crashes on freeways and roads.
