Racine County, WI – A serious crash shut down the northbound lanes of Interstate 94 late Friday morning after a person standing outside a vehicle on the shoulder was struck by a passing car, according to the Racine County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to the scene at approximately 10:51 a.m. on I-94 northbound, where they found an individual who had stopped their vehicle on the shoulder and was later hit. Authorities did not immediately release the person’s condition.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, all northbound traffic is being diverted off the interstate at Highway K and allowed to re-enter at Highway G. Officials said the closure is expected to last several hours while the Sheriff’s Major Crash Assistance Team investigates.
Southbound lanes of I-94 remain open, but drivers in the area should expect significant slowdowns and delays. Commuters are encouraged to use alternate routes, including County Highway H or Highway 45, until the scene clears.
Motorists traveling north toward Milwaukee should plan extra travel time or avoid the area entirely. Updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
