Milwaukee, WI (February 15, 2025) – A Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) bus was involved in a multi-vehicle crash at the intersection of Fond du Lac and Center on Friday, sending multiple people to the hospital.
Video footage shows the bus approaching the intersection without reacting to stopped traffic, colliding with the back of an SUV before striking a pole and tree. The crash involved a total of five vehicles.
Milwaukee Police Department reported that the 38-year-old bus driver and one passenger were taken to the hospital for evaluation, while other passengers left before officers arrived. However, MCTS later confirmed that the driver and four passengers received medical attention.
The drivers of three other vehicles, ages 54, 46, and 31, were transported to a hospital for treatment, while a fourth driver, 30, suffered minor injuries but did not require hospitalization. Authorities have not released an update on the current condition of those injured.
Police are investigating the circumstances that led to the crash.

Bus Accidents in Wisconsin
Bus accidents, especially those involving public transit systems, can result in serious injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved. Urban intersections, like Fond du Lac and Center in Milwaukee, see frequent traffic congestion, increasing the risk of multi-vehicle crashes.
Authorities continue working to improve transit safety through training programs and enhanced traffic enforcement. However, accidents still occur, leaving victims with medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term recovery challenges.
