MILWAUKEE — A five-year-old was killed after a crash near 82nd Street and Hampton Avenue in Milwaukee on Friday.
That child has been identified as Jaylen Sloan, a boy, by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
Police say a 34-year-old driver was traveling westbound on West Hampton Avenue around 8 p.m. when they collided with an unoccupied parked vehicle.
The driver then struck a tree and another parked vehicle before coming to a stop. Police confirmed that the parked vehicle was legally parked.
The passengers, Jaylen and another 5-year-old, were taken to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Jaylen later died of his injuries.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner says neither child was wearing a seat belt. Both were in the front seat. The collision was head-on and Jaylen "may have been ejected."
The driver was also taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and is currently in custody.
The investigation is ongoing, and charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
