Separate crashes, same Milwaukee intersection; reckless driving common in area

Separate crashes, same Milwaukee intersection
Two separate crashes just hours apart. They happened at the same Milwaukee intersection – and video shows that's likely not their only connection.
MILWAUKEE - Two separate crashes just hours apart. They happened at the same Milwaukee intersection – and video shows that's likely not their only connection.
Saturday morning crash
What we know:
Around 10:46 a.m. on Saturday morning, a black SUV came to a stop at a red light at 60th and Hampton when a crash occurred. The driver rolled into the median after the crash.
Milwaukee police are seconds behind the now-damaged sedan, with their lights on. It appears officers had their guns drawn.

However, that didn't stop at least two people from running away. They ran down Hampton Avenue with police trailing them.
And that was far from the only drama at this intersection on Saturday.

The car parts, the mangled metal, the shattered glass all over the place. It’s all the aftermath of what unfolded hours later.
Saturday night crash
What we know:
After 8:30 p.m., a different camera captured another car losing control and smashing into a fence outside the gas station. And just like the crash that happened earlier, Milwaukee police officers are right behind the car. Once again, officers have their guns out as they approach the car on its side.

The crashes happened less than two weeks after County Executive David Crowley signed a plan he hopes will make roads safer in the county.
One of the "Corridors of Concern" the county will prioritize is the stretch of North 60th where these Saturday crashes happened.

What they're saying:
FOX6 News showed both videos to Keisha Wainwright, who stopped at the gas station on Sunday morning.

"Very fed up, because it’s getting worse, and it’s putting our officers in danger, it’s putting innocent people in danger," said Keisha Wainwright.
Two police pursuits, two crashes
What we know:
FOX6 later learned from Milwaukee police that the first crash was the result of a police pursuit.
At about 10:45 a.m., police attempted to pull a vehicle over after officers saw a wanted person in the vehicle.
Following the pursuit and crash, two people were arrested, with one of the people wanted for homicide.
The second crash was also the result of a police pursuit, with a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old taken into custody.
Officers saw a vehicle that had been taken in an armed robbery and attempted to make a stop.
The pursuit ended when the suspect vehicle collided with a curb, causing the vehicle to flip.
In addition to the arrests, a facsimile gun was recovered.
