A tragedy unfolded in Milwaukee earlier this morning, when a fatal collision claimed the life of a 44-year-old. According to TMJ4, the crash occurred around 2:20 a.m. in the area of Grantosa Dr. and Hampton Ave. Milwaukee Police Department reports indicate that the passenger in the first vehicle, traveling west on Hampton Ave., was killed after their car was struck by another attempting to transition from eastbound Hampton to northbound onto Grantosa Dr.
Further details from a FOX6 article confirm that the decedent was a passenger in the vehicle that was hit. The driver and passenger in the first vehicle were proceeding westbound when the collision with the second vehicle, which was attempting an ill-fated turn, occurred.
Adding to the narrative, WISN clarifies that the vehicle that caused the crash was, in fact, traveling the wrong way down West Hampton Avenue before attempting to turn onto West Grantosa Drive. It is this pivotal maneuver that resulted in the crash with the oncoming vehicle, culminating in the tragic loss of life.
As it stands, the Milwaukee police's investigation into the crash continues, with potential charges waiting in the wings, pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
