A motorcyclist injured in a crash on Milwaukee's south side has died, police said.
According to 6th District police Lt. Aimee Obregon, the crash was reported at 4:03 p.m. at the intersection of S. 17th and W. Mitchell streets.
According to Obregon, the cyclist, a 28-year-old Milwaukee man, was westbound on Mitchell and traffic in the eastbound lane was backed up. A motorist in the east bound lane made way for a northbound van to get through on 17th St. but the van was struck by the motorcycle as the bike continued west.
The motorcyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead a short time later, Obregon said.
The crash remains under investigation
Rest in Peace Rider.
