Call for accountability after Marquette students die in Milwaukee accident

Reports have revealed that the recent tragic accident involving two Marquette students is not the first deadly crash at the 27th and St. Paul intersection near Marquette University. Reckless driving has been a longstanding concern in the area, and to move forward, we must look back over the past thirteen years. Edwin Thaves, who has a personal connection to the crash, emphasized the ongoing issue of drunk driving in the community. Thaves expressed frustration over the lack of progress in addressing these dangerous behaviors, advocating for stricter penalties for reckless and intoxicated drivers. The incident is particularly poignant for Thaves, as the intersection is where his father and stepmother lost their lives due to a drunk driver 13 years prior. The police are investigating the recent crash, and Thaves is calling for greater accountability to prevent future tragedies. Marquette University is offering support services for students and staff affected by the incident. The community is encouraged to share messages of love and support at the St. Joan of Arc Chapel. Marquette President Kimo Ah Yun shared heartfelt details about the two students, Noah Snyder and Scott Michaud, who tragically lost their lives in the accident, highlighting their academic achievements and personal backgrounds.
