ASHWAUBENON - One person is dead after a single rollover crash in Brown County.

Brown County Sheriff's office responded to a crash on STH 172 eastbound ramp to I-43 northbound just before 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Police say a 34-year-old Algoma woman was traveling northbound in the inside lane when a vehicle that was next to her tried to merge into her lane causing her to lose control and roll into the ditch.

She was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead by rescue personnel. 

The other non-contact vehicle involved did stop and a statement was obtained from that driver.

The highway was shut down for about 90 minutes.

Police have not released the name of the deceased pending family notification.
