JOHNSON CREEK - A 30-year-old woman and a 4-year-old child are recovering at Froedtert Hospital and Children's Hospital after a Jeep crash near Johnson Creek. The State Patrol says the woman was driving westbound on I-94. She attempted to make a lane change, lost control of her vehicle and went off the road. The Jeep Cherokee rolled several times and came to rest in a ditch near mile marker 269. Medical helicopters transported both victims. The State Patrol says they have non life threatening injuries. The woman was identified as Jessica Yiannackopoulos of Lake Mills. The crash closed the westbound lanes while they cleared the scene. Traffic was backed up for miles. The road has since reopened.
