Rock County has now identified the two people from Black River Falls who died last weekend in a two-vehicle crash. 

Sixty-eight-year-old Stephen Vanderploeg and his 90-year-old mother Lucy were killed Sunday on a highway near Milton. 

Their vehicle apparently crossed the center line and collided with a pickup truck driven by Jason Zembroski from Muskego. 

Investigators believe Zembroski may have been drunk behind the wheel, but was not responsible for the collision, and no charges have been filed against him.
