Correction: This article previously stated the crash happened in Coleman, but in a news release issued a day after the crash, the Marinette County Sheriff said the crash happened in Pound.
Marinette County authorities said one person has died and a couple of people were injured after a vehicle crash that led to a train derailment in Pound.
The Marinette County Sheriff said Wednesday that a rear-end crash pushed vehicles into a passing train, causing the train to derail. The Sheriff said weather played a factor, citing the dense fog that made it difficult for drivers to see.
By Wednesday afternoon, Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve issued a statement urging everyone to not drive in Marinette County at that time, saying the heavy fog had created visibility of under 100 feet across most of the area.
