MILWAUKEE — A driver in a vehicle wanted in connection to a Chicago homicide was arrested Wednesday after crashing into a school bus during a police chase in Milwaukee.
According to the Milwaukee Police Department, officers saw a driver in a vehicle wanted for a homicide from Chicago and attempted to make a stop on the 9100 block of W. Thurston Ave. The driver refused and a pursuit began.
The pursuit ended when the driver collided with a school bus near 76th and Capitol. The impact caused the school bus to flip, which caused a secondary collision with several other vehicles.
Police say the driver of the suspect vehicle, a 26-year-old man, fled on foot. He was arrested after a brief foot pursuit.
The driver was taken to a hospital and arrested. Two passengers in the suspect vehicle, a 26-year-old and a 3-year-old, were also taken to the hospital. The child suffered serious injuries.
The 71-year-old school bus driver and a 30-year-old driver of a vehicle involved in the secondary crash were taken to the hospital too.
Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
