Kenosha Highway 158 fatal hit-and-run, man dead

KENOSHA, Wis. - A Kenosha man, 36, was killed in a hit-and-run on State Highway 158 on Sunday morning, June 25.

A Kenosha County deputy was traveling westbound on State Highway 158 around 2 a.m. and saw the man lying on the shoulder unresponsive. The deputy began life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said a chrome hood piece was recovered, indicating the vehicle was a 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX. It's believed to be white. Officials said it was raining in surveillance video, so they couldn't specify the year of the vehicle.

"It's horrible," said Jackie Olsen, neighbor. "Absolutely horrible."

Olsen has lived in the area for over two decades. She said Highway 158 has gotten a lot more dangerous over the years.

"It used to be two lanes with stop signs and very little traffic," said Olsen. "Now, it’s stop lights and bumper to bumper."

Sheriff's officials said car parts were found at the scene, so there will be damage to the striking vehicle.

"It absolutely makes me sick," said Olsen. "Especially, the idiot that did it and didn’t stop. That makes me sicker. It really does. It's sad."

Olsen said it's not uncommon to find people walking along the highway but said it's unsafe for anyone not in a vehicle due to the lack of bike lanes and sidewalks.

"All the other roads have bike lanes," said Olsen. "We have nothing. The road is lousy."
