According to Milwaukee Police, early Friday morning at 2:14 a.m., on W. Florist Avenue at N. Sherman Boulevard, a Toyota traveling at a high rate of speed westbound on W.

The impact of the collision caused the Nissan to strike a tree. The driver of the Toyota, a 23-year-old man, fled the scene on foot; however, he was later arrested and transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-fatal injuries.
The driver of the Nissan, a 28-year-old, was ejected from the vehicle. The driver was transported to a local hospital for life-threatening injuries and later died. Two passengers of the Nissan, a 31-year-old and a 28-year-old, sustained fatal injuries.
