A head-on collision near Janesville kills one driver and leaves the other severely injured.
The Rock County Sheriff’s Office says the two-vehicle crash occurred just before 9:00 p.m. Tuesday night on Highway 14 near Newville Road in the Janesville township.
A 55-year-old Janesville man was pronounced dead on scene, and a 63-year-old Janesville woman was taken to the hospital with what the sheriff’s office called “serious injuries.”
