Family and friends of 22-year-old Jesse Morales Hernandez of Kewaunee and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Mary Elliott of Bayside, are mourning their deaths after the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department identified them as the victims of Saturday’s two-vehicle crash in the Town of Montpelier.
Morales Hernandez and Elliott were traveling east on State Highway 29 at about 10:30 p.m. when their motorcycle collided with a pickup truck traveling north on County Road AB. Authorities said the truck had stopped at the intersection before the crash occurred.
The couple died at the scene despite emergency response efforts from the Luxemburg Police Department, Kewaunee Police Department, Wisconsin State Patrol, Luxemburg Fire and Rescue, and Luxemburg-Casco First Responders. The Wisconsin State Patrol Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting the Sheriff’s Department with the investigation. No additional details have been released.
