The car, driven by a 21-year-old man from the Green Bay area, ended up in the median and eventually became fully engulfed in flames. The man was not injured and was wearing his seat belt. A 36-year-old woman from the Green Bay area was a passenger in the truck and had non-life threatening injuries.
