Teen passenger killed in fiery collision as driver fleeing police crashes into Milwaukee roundabout
An 18-year-old named Izack Zavala tragically lost his life in a car crash while fleeing from police in West Milwaukee. Zavala, a recent graduate from Milwaukee Public Schools, was a soccer enthusiast who was always willing to help his family. The accident occurred after the driver attempted to evade a traffic stop and ended up crashing into a tree on Milwaukee's south side. The driver and Zavala were both ejected from the vehicle upon impact. An eyewitness named Barbie described the crash as sounding like thunder and shook her building. The aftermath was described as a fiery scene, which left debris scattered around Barbie's backyard. Zavala's family identified his cousin as the driver, who sustained serious injuries and was hospitalized after the incident. The witness hopes this tragic event serves as a cautionary tale for individuals contemplating fleeing from law enforcement. The West Milwaukee Police Department, when approached for comment, declined to discuss potential charges as the investigation is ongoing.
