A motorcyclist was killed on April 15 after he was struck by a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

According to various media reports, the fatal crash happened about 10 a.m. Saturday at W. Appleton Avenue and W. Silver Spring Drive.

“Authorities say a 32-year-old man was on his motorcycle and traveling at a high rate of speed when he was struck by the driver of a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee,” an article published on the Greenfield Patch website reads.

According to the Patch article, emergency responders did use lifesaving measures on the motorcycle driver when they arrived on scene, but he was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash soon after.

“The adult male driver of the Jeep was uninjured and remained on scene,” the article reads.

The name of the victim and the driver of the Jeep were not released to the public as of Tuesday morning. There’s also no mention in the article whether the driver of the Jeep is facing any criminal charges in connection to the incident. Milwaukee police continue to investigate the incident.

After an ongoing struggle to bring justice to the victim of an attack at a Wisconsin diabetes clinic, attorney Randy Rozek of Rozek Law Offices, S.C. has won an $8.3 million victory in which a jury found hospital security at fault for the attack and the client’s resulting injuries. In 2014, Rozek’s client was in the waiting room of the diabetes clinic at a local children’s hospital when a 16-year-old girl with a history of violence viciously assaulted her. The victim, who was accompanied by her two young children, was “punched repeatedly in the face and head, had chunks of hair pulled from her head and was struck in the head with a chair,” Rozek said. The children, aged 9 and 11 at the time, were so frightened by the brutal beating that they fled to a stairwell for safety, fearing their mother had been killed by the attacker and that they would be next if the attacker was to find them. Rozek’s client survived the assault, but still struggles with symptoms of a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) following the attack.
