The Wisconsin State Patrol has arrested a 21-year-old man suspected of causing a crash that killed two and injured six on Interstate 94 early Saturday, and then escaped the scene. The crash occured just west of Eau Claire about 2:40 a.m. Witnesses told police two westbound vehicles collided and one left the scene. The collision caused a van carrying eight people to flip over, slide through the ditch on the north side of the road and land in the tree line. Two of the passengers were not wearing seat belts, and were ejected from the van and killed.
