Fatal ATV Crash in Milwaukee Leaves One Dead, Driver Arrested
Late Saturday night in Milwaukee, a tragic accident unfolded near North 28th Street and West Concordia Avenue. Around midnight, a 23-year-old driver was traveling westbound when their car collided with an ATV carrying two riders. The force of the crash sent both riders to the hospital, but unfortunately, the operator of the ATV did not survive the night. The second rider’s condition has not been detailed, but reports confirm they were also injured.
According to Milwaukee police, the ATV was struck with enough impact to cause life-threatening injuries. Medical staff at the hospital worked to save the operator, but their injuries were simply too severe. The identity and ages of the two ATV riders have not been released at this time.
What is known is that the driver of the car, only identified as 23 years old, was taken into custody immediately following the crash. Police confirmed that this individual was arrested and is now awaiting possible charges. The case has been forwarded to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office for review, which will determine what charges, if any, will officially be filed.

Crashes involving ATVs and passenger vehicles are unfortunately not uncommon, especially in areas where the vehicles share public roads. In this case, investigators are still working to piece together the exact circumstances of how the collision happened. Questions remain about speed, visibility, and whether impairment or reckless driving may have played a role.
The scene itself, on Milwaukee’s north side, was closed off overnight as police gathered evidence and reconstructed the crash. Neighbors in the area woke up to flashing lights and a heavy police presence, a stark reminder of how quickly a late-night ride can turn into tragedy.
The death highlights an ongoing concern in Milwaukee and across Wisconsin: the dangers of mixing off-road vehicles like ATVs with city traffic. While ATVs are designed for trails and recreational areas, they are sometimes seen on urban streets, where the risks are far greater. Unlike cars, ATVs offer little protection in a collision, leaving riders highly vulnerable.
For now, the community is left mourning another life lost too soon, while one young driver faces the reality of serious legal consequences. Police continue to ask anyone with information about the incident to come forward as the investigation remains active.
This crash serves as yet another reminder of the importance of caution and responsibility on the road, whether behind the wheel of a car or on an ATV. In just a matter of moments, lives can be changed forever, and sadly, in this case, one life has been cut short.
