WEST ALLIS — A man involved in a fire hydrant crash in West Allis Monday has died from injuries sustained during the crash, according to West Allis police.
The 82-year-old man was from Greenfield. Speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash.
The man hit a fire hydrant and two trees on the 3100 block of South 108th Street around 3 p.m. He was traveling southbound but crossed over the center median into the northbound lanes and into the east sidewalk. He was the only person in the car.
