Milwaukee hit-and-run, school bus hit

Two people were hurt in a Milwaukee hit-and-run involving a school bus Friday morning, Nov. 17.

MILWAUKEE - Two people were hurt in a Milwaukee hit-and-run involving a school bus Friday morning, Nov. 17.

Surveillance video captured a speeding driver run a red light at 60th and Hampton before slamming into another car and hitting the school bus around 7 a.m. Two people were taken to a hospital, and the driver responsible ran off.

"It’s a very dangerous intersection," said neighbor Kerri Jones. "I call it death row, because that's how many accidents we have over here."

It’s the same intersection where a man was killed in a June rollover crash and where two men died after a car that was street racing hit them two years ago. But those crashes mark just a few out of the many FOX6 News has reported at that intersection over the past several years. 

"Traffic is always excessive. I have seen a couple of bad ones here," Jones said. "I’ve almost been into two terrible accidents – where somebody did not care, and they kept going."

Milwaukee crash, 60th and Hampton; school bus hit

While police said no one was seriously hurt Friday, neighbors like Jones feel someone could have been.

"Stop driving so fast, you know, we’re killing each other," she said. "If people would just slow down and have some kind of courtesy with the next driver, it would help."

Police are still searching for the driver who fled the scene. Anyone with information is asked to call MPD at 414-935-7360; to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS or use the P3 tips app.
