Pedestrian Struck in West Allis Traffic Incident

A series of pedestrian-related accidents across Wisconsin over the weekend has raised concerns about reckless driving. In West Allis, a 70-year-old man was struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross Greenfield Ave, reportedly after consuming intoxicants, prompting local authorities to investigate. This incident is part of a troubling trend, as pedestrian accidents in Wisconsin have been increasing, particularly in urban areas. Another incident in Milwaukee involved a 52-year-old pedestrian who was hit and later died, with the driver arrested for operating while intoxicated. Local residents voiced frustrations over persistent reckless driving in their neighborhoods, likening the roads to a race track. Efforts are underway by city officials to address these dangerous behaviors and improve safety for pedestrians.
