Franklin police said officers responded at about 12:24 p.m. Tuesday to a report of a two-vehicle crash. Franklin police and fire crews, along with Oak Creek police and fire personnel, went to the scene. The intersection sits along the municipal boundary, with 27th Street marking the dividing line between the two communities, according to FOX6 Milwaukee.
Planned Puetz Road Pathway
A City of Franklin flyer for an Oct. 28, 2025, public-involvement meeting described plans for an off-road shared-use path along W. Puetz Road between S. 76th Street and W. St. Martins Road. The flyer does not specify how close the project area is to 27th Street, or connect the project to this crash or its cause.

Investigation Remains Active
