Reckless driver sentenced to prison for deadly crash brings relief to victim's family
A tragic accident involving a Milwaukee County bus resulted in a prison sentence for the driver in 2024. 30-year-old Danny Romero agreed to plead guilty to several felonies, including reckless homicide, after having cocaine in his system when he ran two red lights and crashed into a moving bus with passengers on board. The prosecutor, Grant Huebner, highlighted that Romero was driving a stolen vehicle without a driver's license, as well as his history of criminal behavior. The court saw videos of the crash and its aftermath, revealing the devastating impact on the victims. While the defense argued that it was an accident, Romero expressed remorse for the incident. The emotional court proceedings included statements from the family of Michael Captain, a passenger who tragically lost his life in the crash. Judge Jeffrey Wagner handed Romero a 32-year prison sentence along with extended supervision and restitution payments to other victims. Captain's family expressed relief at the outcome, feeling justice had been served.
