MILWAUKEE, WI : 1 dead, 3 injured following crash near 33rd and Lincoln in Milwaukee on Friday, 7th June 2019
An 18-year-old was killed and three other people were hurt in a crash early Friday morning, June 7 near 33rd and Lincoln. It happened around 3:30 a.m.
Police said a driver ran a stop sign and plowed into another vehicle. The impact of the collision was so forceful, it was heard down the block.
"It was pretty loud. I could hear it from the alley," said Rolando Vargas, who rushed outside to see what happened. "I wanted to make sure everybody was OK."
"It was a, like, a teenager in handcuffs. His whole clothes were covered in blood," Vargas said. "Handcuffed in the back of a police car."
Vargas said what happened on his block was unfortunate and eye-opening. He said his hope was other drivers would take safety behind the wheel seriously -- and realize the impact of one bad decision.
"Just everybody be careful. Your life could be gone in a moment, so just be safe," Vargas said.
