Hit-and-Run Crashes in Wisconsin
Sunday’s hit-and-run on Milton Ave is part of a concerning trend across Wisconsin, where more drivers are fleeing accident scenes, leaving injured victims without assistance or accountability. In populated corridors like Milton Ave and Ketterling St, the mix of cross traffic, turning vehicles, and pedestrian activity creates heightened crash risk—especially when drivers disregard traffic signals or become distracted.
What makes hit-and-run incidents particularly devastating is the lack of closure and immediate justice for victims. Injured parties may be left waiting for emergency care, dealing with insurance hurdles, and facing medical bills—often without knowing who was responsible. These crashes frequently involve serious emotional trauma in addition to physical injuries.
In such cases, quick reporting, witness accounts, and local surveillance are key to identifying the fleeing driver. Community involvement can make a real difference in ensuring accountability and safety for others on the road.
