One person is dead after a crash in the Town of Lawrence early Sunday morning.  The crash happened just after 2:30 Sunday morning.

The 36-year-old Town of Oneida man was hit head on while driving the wrong way on Interstate 41.  The crash happened in the southbound lane just north of Freedom Road.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle that was hit head on is a 27-year-old man from Columbus, Wisconsin.  He suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Another vehicle was side swiped on the Interstate.  The driver of that vehicle was a 74-year-old Appleton man who suffered minor injuries.

Police say it appears alcohol played a factor in this crash.

The Interstate was closed for more than five hours while investigators worked to clear the scene.  

Names of those involved are being withheld for now while police work to notify the families.
