The Bayfield County Sheriff’s Department has identified a woman who died after crashing her car into a washout on Highway 63 on Monday.
According to the sheriff’s office, after passing signs at Raymond Avenue in Grand View and another about a half mile closer to the washout, 74-year-old Kathryn Anderson of Namakagon drove into the washed out portion of the road and came to rest next to a culvert, about 50 feet down.
Anderson’s car was spotted by Wisconsin DOT worker who was assessing damage to the road, just north of Grand View around 9:30 a.m. Anderson had to be extricated and brought up to road level with rope rescue equipment. She was taken to St. Luke’s in Duluth by Life Link helicopter where she died of her injuries.
