The State Patrol has released the identity of the person killed in Wednesday’s single-car crash in the Manitowoc County Town of Newton. The victim was a 35-year old Sheboygan woman, Rae L. Trevino. Manitowoc County Coroner Curt Green said the cause of death was blunt force trauma. Full autopsy results will take approximately 6-to-8 weeks.
According to the accident report, Trevino was driving a vehicle northbound on I-43, near Clover Road when her car traveled onto the shoulder of the median. She then over-corrected and entered the right lane before overturning in a ditch. Trevino was ejected from the car and died at the scene. Her passenger, who has not been identified, sustained minor injuries in the crash. The accident caused a large traffic backup for most of the afternoon.
