MILWAUKEE — Three people, including a child, are dead after a crash near N. 91st and W. Mill Rd. on Friday afternoon.
The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. on July 5th.
Milwaukee Police say a 55-year-old driver crashed into another vehicle with a 28-year-old and a 9-year-old inside.
The 55-year-old driver was taken to the hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.
The 9-year-old had to be extricated from a vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, a 28-year-old, was also pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman living near the crash site was not surprised to learn of the deadly accident.
“I have seen many accidents in this area but nothing like bad as that,” said Idalia Rogers, a Milwaukee resident.” We get frequent accidents. There was one last night.”
It's an osbservation shared by others in the neighborhood like 19-year-old Jayden Bromfield.
”This intersection it sees a lot of activity, it’s always some car passing at some sort of speed," Bromfield explained. "It’s not unexpected to see a crash like that but still that’s—for it to kill three people that’s kind of crazy.”
He's joining many others in the city in calling for change but believes more than increased police enforcement, change starts within the community.
"It just really comes down to how people drive," the 19-year-old said. "We all should be trynna work towards keeping people, especially kids and the elderly, safe.”
The crash is under investigation by the Milwaukee Police Department.
