CAMBRIDGE (WKOW) -- Firefighters are on the scene of a head-on crash in Cambridge.
Dane County Communications says the crash happened around 3:50 a.m. on Highway 12 and Rodney Road. Two vehicles were involved.
Dane County says MedFlight was notified, but then canceled. The coroner was also put on standby.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says all lanes of U.S. 12 are blocked in both directions (east and west) at Rodney Road. Eastbound traffic should exit on State Farm Road and head north towards Wisconsin 134, then go south on Highway 134 back to U.S. 12. Westbound can reverse those directions.
Right now, authorities are still on the scene and believe the road will be closed for awhile.
