Two people are dead and five more, some of them children, are hurt after a serious rollover wreck at 75th and Northern avenues. The crash is under investigation, but Wolfe said this is not a hit-and-run situation. Investigators are trying to piece together the moments leading up to the crash, but they have not determined what caused the vehicle to roll. Two injured adults were transported by ground ambulance, as well. The other three were transported by ground ambulance.
