Eaton, WI (September 13, 2023) – Three individuals died in a crash on Wednesday night, September 13, 2023, after their car hit a pole barn in Eaton township, Manitowoc County.
Emergency services responded to State Highway 67 and County Highway C around 7:50 p.m. following a distress call.
The deceased are 38-year-old Juan Carlos Rodriguez Solorzano, the driver, 35-year-old Yonayra Liliana Ortiz Centeno, and 22-year-old Edwin Mariano Espinal Navarro. All hailed from the Village of Hilbert.

Multiple agencies assisted at the scene. Anyone with pertinent information should contact Detective Radke.
The investigation is still ongoing.
