DOUGLAS COUNTY, Wis. — Two women were killed in a single-vehicle crash in northwestern Wisconsin Saturday night, and authorities believe speed and alcohol were factors.
The crash happened just before 8:30 p.m. on County Highway H near Koho Road in Douglas County, according to the sheriff's office.

The crash is being investigated.
