Woman Struck By Car In South Milwaukee, Taken By Flight For Life To Froedtert

Update: Here is the press release.

Here is the update I received tonight from Acting South Milwaukee Fire Chief Joe Knitter …

At approximately 8:30 pm this evening, the South Milwaukee Fire Department responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a car in the area of 16th and College Avenues. On arrival of fire department ambulances, the mechanism of injury and condition of the patient necessitated that the Flight for Life Helicopter be requested to the scene. The patient was stabilized in the paramedic unit and transferred to the landing zone established at South Milwaukee High School where FFL landed and subsequently transported the patient to Froedtert Hospital with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.

I’ll keep you posted when I learn more.

    What is going on? Are some people just that impatient with the closure of Pennsylvania/Nicholson? There have been 2 accidents on the corner of Park and 15th (an intersection my children must cross to walk on the sidewalk to and from school) as well as last night’s accident. Maybe a police presence with ticketed reminders as to what the speed limit is? Then there’s the freak drunk driving accident into the Divine Mercy Early Chilhood Center’s playground. Thank goodness that one happened at night and no kids were out playing.
