The Rock County Medical Examiner's office released the names of three people killed in a crash Saturday when the van they were in failed to stop at a stop sign and was hit by an SUV and a truck west of Whitewater.
Jeffrey Turnipseed, 67, Ericka Berg, 38, and Jamie Ranguette, 39, all of Whitewater, were ejected from the van and later declared dead at the scene of the crash at East County Line Road and Highway 12.
