A second person has died after a car crash near 27th and St. Paul in Milwaukee on Tuesday.
A 65-year-old woman critically injured in Tuesday night’s crash died in a hospital on Thursday evening. A 69-year-old male passenger with her died on Tuesday.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's office says the crash happened around 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday night after a deputy sheriff initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle sped away from the deputy and crashed moments later after running a red light, hitting two cars in the process.
TMJ4 crews at the scene Tuesday night found the mangled black car surrounded by Marquette University Police and Sheriff's squad cars as well as EMS vehicles.
The driver of the second car that was hit was uninjured, according to officers on scene.
The driver of the car fleeing from police was initially pulse-less but became revived through lifesaving measures and is now in stable condition at the hospital. The driver is in custody.
That 24-year-old driver has two open felony criminal cases. He is out on bail through Waukesha County for Fleeing-Eluding, 2nd-Degree Reckless Endangering Safety, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Possession of THC, Operating After Revocation, and Possession of Illegally Obtained Prescription. He is also charged with Felony Bail Jumping.
The driver was reportedly in possession of a firearm and drugs at the time of this crash.
MCSO is investigating the alleged criminal conduct of the 24-year-old, and MPD is investigating the crash.
