Wreck near 34th and Greenfield, Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE - A 3 1/2-month-old girl critically hurt in a crash near 34th and Greenfield Avenue on Milwaukee s south side has now died from her injuries, police say.
Officials say the wreck happened when the driver of the vehicle attempted to pass another vehicle at a high rate of speed when he lost control. The driver s vehicle then struck an unoccupied parked vehicle.
In addition to the infant, a 27-year-old woman and 4-year-old girl suffered serious injuries. Officials say the driver of the vehicle a 35-year-old Milwaukee man was not hurt in the wreck.
It s no wonder why.
Her 2017 silver Hyundai Elantra was stolen Feb. 8 from in front of her house on the northwest side of Milwaukee. Her car was found on the south side the next day with a broken back passenger window, damaged rear bumper and passenger quarter panel, and peeled down steering column.
The damage came to $5,000, and she still owes $10,000 on the car. To compound matters, she missed an insurance payment and didn’t have insurance when the car was swiped.
“They ruined my car, and I couldn’t even trade it in because the dealership said it had too much damage,” she said.
On March 13 of last year, six bullets from a Louisville, Kentucky, police officer’s gun ended the life of a promising emergency room technician with aspirations of becoming a nurse.
On the anniversary this Saturday of Breonna Taylor’s death, Milwaukee’s activists and artists will celebrate her life by honoring the city’s first responders and health care workers dedicated to saving lives.
“I know from being on both sides of the call, first responders respond to emergencies when not in uniform as a moral code of conduct and that alone is worthy of honor,” said Robert Agnew Jr., 33, co-founder of Milwaukee Artists for Racial Justice and an EMT student. “All professions are not created equal, and we want to let the first responders know, we see them, support them and to keep going.”
