The spring time has arrived in Wisconsin. With the arrival of spring and nicer weather, there will be an increase of people going outside for walks and engaging in outdoor activities. Because of the increase in pedestrians on the sidewalks and outdoors, drivers need to be extra cautious to help keep the pedestrians safe. When an accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, the pedestrian will almost certainly get the worst of it. These accidents can cause serious injuries and even fatalities. This is why it is so critical that everyone practices caution and safe driving on the roadways.

Recently an accident occurred between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian in Milwaukee. The accident occurred on Friday, April 24, 2020 around 12:15 in the afternoon.
