Milwaukee, WI (November 28, 2024) – A 34-year-old woman tragically lost her life early Thursday morning after her SUV rolled over on a freeway ramp at the Stadium Interchange. The crash occurred around 1:00 AM on the east-to-north ramp, and a 911 caller alerted emergency dispatchers after spotting the overturned vehicle. When a deputy arrived at the scene, he found the woman outside the SUV with a faint pulse but not breathing. The deputy immediately began CPR, continuing until Milwaukee Fire Department personnel arrived and took over. Despite their best efforts, the woman was pronounced dead at 1:57 AM.
The woman was the sole occupant of the SUV at the time of the crash. Preliminary investigations suggest that she may have attempted a last-second exit onto the east-to-north ramp, causing the vehicle to hit safety barrels, flip onto its roof, and come to rest on its side. Investigators believe the woman was likely ejected from the vehicle when it overturned. The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
We would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased victim.
