5 Killed Including 1-Year-Old In Milwaukee Crash: Reports

MILWAUKEE, WI — Three teens and a 1-year-old child were killed in a crash near 60th Street and Fond Du Lac Avenue Sunday night in Milwaukee, according to multiple media reports.

One of the vehicles had several people ejected in the crash, including the four who died, police said according to a report by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Two others from the fatally wrecked car were hospitalized, including another passenger and the driver, a report by TMJ4 said. The driver, a 32-year-old man, later died at the hospital, according to a report by CBS58.

Police said the driver from the other car was arrested with charges pending review, according to the TMJ4 report.

"The loss of life involving automobiles in our city is far too high. It frustrates and angers me and my constituents (and most across the city) because many – if not all – of these deaths are preventable," said Alderman Mark Chambers Jr in a statement. "Having the ability to drive a car is a privilege that should be taken seriously. We shouldn’t have to live in a community where people feel unsafe driving, crossing streets, or otherwise interacting with other drivers."

A report by FOX6 Now noted the crash was between a minivan and an SUV.

In a statement published to Twitter Monday morning, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson extended condolences and said "The loss of lives overnight is horrifying. The serious injuries and the ages of the people involved compound the tragedy."

"My hope is that last night’s incidents provide a wakeup call throughout Milwaukee, reminding drivers to follow traffic rules thoughtfully and cautiously," Johnson wrote.
