Watch: Neighbors fed up after reckless driving rollover crash destroys parked cars
Neighbors are frustrated over the aftermath of the crash.
"This is a total loss, I'm just frustrated," a victim of the crash, Annette Patterson said.
Patterson’s car was one of two cars parked and hit on National.
“They drive through like it’s an expressway. I can't hardly cross the street. I almost have to run to go across the street. It's terrible,” Patterson explained.
Patterson and her neighbors are fed up.
"I'm frustrated. You should be able to park on the main street without having this happen,” Patterson said.
There are even tire marks on the building nearby from the impact.
Juanetta Clemons who was parked on the street as well. She said this wasn’t the first time her car had been hit.
"Within two years. Same spot, same exact spot,” Clemons said.
Now Clemons is stuck paying her deductible.
"That's money I really don't have. I really don't,” Clemons said.
Francisco Palscencia who gave TMJ4 surveillance video feels sorry for his neighbors but he is counting his blessings.
"If one of our cars would have gotten hit, then that means ya know we would have lost profit on that car. We would have not been able to sell it. We would have had to invest more money into it,” Palscencia said.
The victims have one request for drivers.
"I just want people to slow down,” Clemons said.
Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
