Milwaukee, WI - On Thursday, a Milwaukee Fire Department rescue unit responded to S. 13 Street and W. Morgan Ave. around 5:15 p.m. where an alleged fleeing vehicle being pursued by a Milwaukee County Sheriff deputy crashed into three other vehicles at the busy intersection. Several good samaritans attempted to administer CPR to one of the victims inside a vehicle, but were unsuccessful, according to nearby witnesses.
Police and Milwaukee County Sheriff deputies were at the scene and apparently took three suspects into custody. 
People at local businesses nearby reported hearing a loud crash outside and later learned at least four vehicles had been involved.

Update: Six people were injured in the crash including a Milwaukee County Sheriff deputy who were taken to several local hospitals for treatment, one person died at the car crash scene, according to the Milwaukee Fire Department.
Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas during a press conference says, that a Milwaukee County Sheriff deputy going Southbound on I-43/I-94 noticed a vehicle driving erratic and attempted to pull it over. The vehicle failed to pull over and exited on the Holt Ave. exit and headed Westbound at a high rate of speed and at the intersection of S. 13th Street and W. Morgan Ave., the male driver struck a vehicle killing Pedro Colon-Ortiz, 25. The 18-year-old male driver and two females that were fleeing from the deputy got out of the vehicle and fled, but were shortly taken into custody. Deputies found drugs and a handgun inside their vehicle.
