MILWAUKEE — One person was killed in a crash late Tuesday night near Teutonia and Mill, according to Milwaukee Police.

"All of a sudden you heard a big crash," Kathy Leslie said.
Leslie lives steps away from the busy intersection and said she's become all too familiar with that sound.
"You could hear parts going everywhere," Leslie recalled. "There was no squealing of tires or anything, there was just a big loud crash and I kind of looked out the window and I saw a car pull over here."
It happened at about 11:40 p.m. on the 6300 block of N. Teutonia Ave., near Mill.
According to police, a 23-year-old was driving north on Teutonia when they collided into a 69-year-old driver, who was driving east on W. Mill Rd.

The 23-year-old driver was also taken to the hospital and was taken into custody.
"It's not the first death that we’ve seen here, nor will it be the last because we have too many people driving reckless and speeding," said Leslie.
State crash data shows since 2022, there have been 11 crashes near that intersection that have resulted in injuries or death.
Police say the investigation is ongoing, and charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
