MILWAUKEE — We're getting a look at new video from a violent crash on I-41 near Appleton Avenue on Tuesday morning.

The dump truck caused the RAV4 to lose control and roll over. The driver of the dump truck kept on going.

"It’s unclear if the other vehicle was trying to exit in front of the dump truck or if the dump truck ever saw the other vehicle, so at this point it’s still kind of up in the air as to what happened," said Sgt. Daniel Hansen with Milwaukee Co. Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office is investigating the crash as a hit and run, and is actively seeking both the dump truck and its driver.

"To the dump truck driver, it’s your responsibility to stick around," said Sgt. Hansen. "If it was an accident, we can figure that out but you need to stick around and provide aid to the person in the other vehicle."

The driver of the car that went airborne suffered minor injuries and was transported to the hospital out of precaution.

TMJ4 examined the DOT camera at Good Hope Rd. where a dump truck that looked similar to the one involved in the crash could be seen exiting a little later.

The Milwaukee Co. Sheriff's Office is looking for any information that will lead to the driver or the dump truck.
