A fatal accident that occurred on Saturday night claimed the lives of a 39 year-old man and a 22 year-old woman in Waupun.

Both were traveling on Highway 26 when the head-on collision occurred. The man was driving northbound when he lost control of his car on a curve and hit another vehicle in the southbound lane. A 23 year-old passenger in the other car was taken to University Hospital in Madison and is currently listed in critical condition.

Highway 26 sees heavy traffic of people traveling between Madison and Green Bay. Just two weeks ago another serious accident occurred near the crash site that involved two pickup trucks and a semi.

Our deepest sympathies are with the friends and families of the two victims.
