MILWAUKEE - A crash on Milwaukee's north side sent three people to a hospital – one with serious injuries – early Sunday morning, Oct. 22.
It happened near 76th and Villard. Surveillance video from an area business captured the crash, which happened shortly after 1 a.m.
The video, which FOX6 News paused just after impact due to the crash's graphic nature, shows a vehicle turning left as a second vehicle, apparently speeding, crashes into it. One person seemed to be ejected from the vehicle that was hit.

Milwaukee laundromat has security cameras, dozens for public safety
A Milwaukee business takes over a property on the city's north side. The business owner wants to help the community stay safe – with dozens of security cameras.
It is not the first time FOX6 has covered a serious crash at the intersection
In February 2022, a police chase led to a crash at what was then Hart Auto – also captured on surveillance. The driver has since been sentenced to prison. Later that year, there was a second police chase and crash at the intersection.
Last month, the owner of the new business at that intersection, Quick Wash Laundromats, said he added dozens of security cameras in an effort to help the community stay safe.
Editor's note: A previous version of this story identified as many as five people hurt in the crash, which was the information MFD provided. It was updated Oct. 23 to reflect information from MPD.
