Three people were taken to hospitals, and a section of state Highway 47 was closed for more than an hour Thursday after a three-vehicle crash in the town of Lessor.
Shawano County sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash on Highway 47 at Shady Road shortly after 6 p.m., according to a sheriff’s department news release.
A 2003 Dodge Neon was stopped in the northbound lane of traffic on Highway 47, waiting to make a left turn, when a 2014 Dodge truck hit the Neon from behind, forcing it into the southbound lane of traffic, according to the release. A 2010 Chevrolet Equinox going south then hit the Neon.
The release indicated three people were taken to area hospitals: the driver of the Neon, an 18-year-old Bonduel woman; the driver of the Equinox, a 55-year-old Pulaski man; and his passenger, a 53-year-old Pulaski woman.
Deputies cited the driver of the pickup, a 31-year-old man from Hamilton, Texas, for following too closely.
No information was being released Friday on the names of the people involved or the extent of their injuries.
Debris on the road caused authorities to close Highway 47, from County Road F in Outagamie County to state Highway 156 in Shawano County, until 7:41 p.m.
The Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department, Bonduel Police Department, Navarino Fire Department, NEW Ambulance and Black Creek Ambulance responded to the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
