Authorities have reported that the body of a 17-year-old boy from Milwaukee was discovered inside an SUV, which had been towed to a city-owned lot four days after being involved in a crash.
According to a statement from the police, officers in Milwaukee were summoned to a lot on Monday morning where they discovered the body of a teenager in the back of an SUV.
According to police, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office is currently investigating the cause of death of the boy. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Police Department and the city’s Department of Public Works will be conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the initial failure to locate the youth’s body inside the SUV.
A man has been seriously injured in a crash on US 69 near Excelsior Springs after colliding with a horse.
Last Thursday, a severely damaged SUV suspected to be stolen was towed to the lot after crashing into a tree, according to police.
According to police, a 16-year-old boy who was driving the vehicle involved in the crash was injured and subsequently taken into custody.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, city personnel have left someone in a car that was eventually towed away for the third time since 2018.
An incident occurred in January 2018 where an 8-year-old girl was left alone inside a van that was towed away after her mother was arrested during a traffic stop. The girl spent the entire night in freezing temperatures. The following morning, a girl was discovered by a tow lot attendant who heard her crying.
A guilty plea has been entered by a man for smuggling fentanyl on a bus that was traveling through Kansas City.
Last year, the family of the girl filed a lawsuit against the city and subsequently reached a settlement. As per the terms of the settlement, the family received a payment of $50,000.
In a statement released in January 2022, the fire chief of Milwaukee expressed regret for his department’s inability to locate the remains of a 21-year-old woman inside a vehicle that had been removed following a fiery collision.
