Updated 8-22

One person was killed---and---two others suffered serious injuries in a three vehicle accident in Somers  Monday morning.

The victim was identified as 51 year-old Michael Emmons of Kenosha. 

For an unknown reason, the driver of a GMC Envoy crossed the centerline on Highway 'S' just west of 'EA' and the Union Pacific tracks at about 7:15. The SUV sideswiped a compact car, sending it into the ditch, then struck head-on Emmon's smaller SUV.

Emmons was pronounced dead at the scene. The other two drivers were seriously injured and flown to a Milwaukee hospital.
