Accident victims' names released

Authorities have released the names of those involved in a Sunday crash that left seven people injured in the village of Wittenberg. A truck driven by Matthew Olson, 42, of Green Bay, was westbound on a fog-shrouded state Highway 29 when he crossed the median and collided head-on with an eastbound minivan that was carrying six people, according to a news release from the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department. The minivan, driven by Rebecca Wescott, 41, of Sobieski, was carrying Jennifer Steffen, 42, of Pulaski; Eric Steffen, 41, of Pulaski; a 15-year-old girl; and two boys, ages 9 and 10. The minors were not identified in the news release. Everyone was treated at local hospitals for injuries not considered to be life-threatening and released. Authorities say they believe fog was a contributing factor in the crash, which is still being investigated. The crash happened about 4:30 p.m. on Highway 29 near U.S. Highway 45.
