JUST IN: Multiple injuries reported in Marathon County crash

Wausau Pilot & Review

Two people were injured in a crash Tuesday west of Wausau, while a portion of Hwy. 107 was shut down for nearly five hours as crews cleared the scene.

The crash involved a truck and a van. The extent of the injuries to two people inside the van is not immediately clear, though first responders called for a medical helicopter after arriving at the crash scene.

The crash was reported at about 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of County Hwy. L in the town of Hamburg. Crews from Athens and Edgar were among the first to respond, according to emergency scanner traffic.

Northbound and southbound traffic was rerouted until about 10:20 p.m., when deputies reopened the road.

As of Wednesday morning, no formal details have been released by the Marathon County Sheriff’s Department. This is a developing story that will be updated.
