6 Injured After IL Guard Vehicle Loses Control
RAYMOND, Wis. (AP) -- Six people are injured after a four-vehicle crash involving a military convoy from the Illinois National Guard in Racine County.

According to the Wisconsin State Patrol, an Illinois National Guard convoy was traveling south in the right lane of Interstate 94 near Caledonia at about noon Thursday.

Several Humvees, a bus and other units slowed down as they approached a disabled semi on the right shoulder.

The State Patrol says the operator of one of the Humvees lost control resulting in the crash.

The Wisconsin State Patrol says four Guard members were injured as well the drivers of a straight truck and a pickup involved in the crash. They all were taken to a local hospital with injuries not thought to be life threatening.
