Nine people are dead after a van was struck by a tractor-trailer at an intersection on a Wisconsin state highway Friday, officials said.

Only one person, someone in the van, survived the crash, which was reported at 7:53 a.m. in Dewhurst Township, around 45 miles southeast of Eau Claire, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The crash occurred when an eastbound tractor-trailer on Highway 95 hit a van going northbound on intersecting County Road J, the sheriff's office said.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was killed, and eight of the nine people in the van, including the driver of that vehicle, also died, the office said. They were all pronounced dead at the scene.

Gov. Tony Evers said said on X that he and his wife were saddened by the tragic crash.
