MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a crash that sent an adult and two children inside the vehicle to the hospital early Monday. It happened on North 76th Street, near Carmen Avenue.
TMJ4's Mike Beiermeister spoke with a woman who lived in the home that was struck early Monday morning around 6:30 a.m. She says that car crashed right next to her bedroom window, knocking her head and waking her up.
She said that two cars collided, sending the vehicle through a neighbor's fence and right up to her steps. The other driver sped off, according to the woman.

"That's why we call it Highway 76," said a neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous.
She shared her concern as her kids were playing outside just a few houses down from where the crash happened Monday morning.

"The bumper is there," said the neighbor. "I've picked up two bumpers from the street before. It's always something."
Sonya Maria Taylor-Brooks lives across the street. Scenes like this are becoming all too familiar in her neighborhood.
"My husband heard it, and then I came to the door to see what was going on, and it was like, Oh, another one," said Taylor-Brooks.
She, along with others, wants to see more safety improvements and an increased police presence in the area. They are all urging drivers to slow down.
We reached out to the Milwaukee Police Department for more information but have yet to hear back.
