MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say three people were killed when a wrong-way driver crashed into another vehicle on Interstate 94 near Menomonie in western Wisconsin.  The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office and Wisconsin State Patrol say it happened just before 5:45 p.m. Thursday. Dispatchers received complaints about a black car that had crossed the median and was westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-94.  After about three miles, the black car crashed into a gray car. The gray car started on fire and all three people inside died.   The driver of the black car was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.   It wasn’t immediately clear if the wrong-way driver will face criminal charges or if alcohol or drugs were involved.  The State Patrol is investigating.
