(KNZA)--The identity of the victim of a fatal Brown County roll-over wreck Tuesday morning, just south of Hiawatha, has been released.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant Thursday identified the victim as 66-year-old Edna Lehew, of rural Hiawatha.
The wreck was reported shortly before 8:00 Tuesday morning on Linden Road, just north of the Hiawatha Country Club entrance.
Merchant says upon arrival, emergency responders located a 2003 Buick Century on its top in the bottom of a small creek.
Emergency personnel worked for almost an hour to free Lehew from the vehicle, who was the lone occupant.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
