(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.
The wreck remains under investigation
