At least 2 die on slippery Wisconsin highways

MADISON - At least two people have died in accidents as freezing drizzle made for slippery roads in parts of Wisconsin.

Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain says a man was checking his SUV for damage after he fishtailed and slid into a concrete barrier, when he was struck and killed by a pickup truck that slid on the same ice. It happened about 7 a.m. Friday on a bridge on Highway 151.

The Dane County Medical Examiner's Office identified him as 71-year-old Miguel Julian of Sun Prairie. Authorities say he died at the scene.
