NIAGARA, WIS. -- The 29-year-old woman that died in a Tuesday morning crash has been identified as Heather M. Vandenwildenberg of Beecher.

According to authorities, Vandenwildenberg died from injuries she received when the Jeep she was in collided with a bridge abutment on County O in the town of Niagara, Wisconsin.

The driver of the Jeep, 23-year-old Joshua E. Faccio and back seat passenger 21-year-old Timothy G. Thew were both taken to Dickinson County Memorial Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The Marinette County Sheriff's Department is still investigating the crash, but they believe unsafe speed for conditions and a lack of seatbelt usage are contributing factors.
