The driver of the second vehicle, a 30-year-old Wauwatosa woman, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is now in the hospital.
The driver of the first vehicle, a a 27-year-old Milwaukee man, was arrested. Police said charges are being reviewed by the Milwaukee County DA's Office.
This incident played out almost the same way as a deadly pedestrian-involved crash last Saturday.That's when a 72-year-old Milwaukee man died after being struck by a vehicle at 20th and Burleigh. Milwaukee police said in that incident, the pedestrian was standing at the corner of the intersection when a vehicle blew through a red light and was hit by another vehicle. The impact caused that first vehicle to hit the 72 year old, who later died at the hospital.
