A semi trailer and a small car crashed tonight leaving people trapped inside the car.

The Eau Claire County Sheriffs Department says it appears the car was turning onto Highway 53 South from County Road I, at 6:53 p.m. Saturday evening when it failed to yield the right-of-way at the intersection.

Deputies say that's when the semi, headed southbound on Highway 53 crashed into the car.

There were three passengers in the car and one in the semi.

20-year-old Ashley A. Albrecht of Eau Claire was driving the car. Deputies say she was airlifted to Luther Hospital.

Passengers in the car include 19-year-old Tyler J. Schug of Cadott and 23-year-old Sara Q Kosciolek of Madison. They were taking to Sacred Heart Hospital.

Deputies say the truck driver is 52-year-old Anthony A Lenczowski of Fertile, MN. He was carrying a load of potatoes and was not hurt in the crash.
