Wescott woman killed in crash

Shawano police have released the name of the woman killed in a head-on crash with a tanker truck early Monday. Cinda L. Engebretson, 61, of the town of Wescott, was southbound on Airport Road at Beauprey Road just after 6 a.m. when she lost control of her vehicle due to icy road conditions and crossed the centerline, the Police Department said. She veered into the path of a tanker truck that was carrying road sand and was struck head-on. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The tanker truck belonged to Green Lake-based Freight Lime and Sand Hauling and was driven by a 43-year-old Markesan man, who was not injured. The crash closed down Airport Road in both directions from Richmond Street to County Road B on Monday morning.
