MILWAUKEE (WTMJ) - Police are investigating a hit and run crash that was caught on camera in Milwaukee over the weekend.

A news crew was on scene when a stolen car lost control and slammed into a parked minivan.

A swerving car collided with a parked vehicle, right before Kaylee Staral’s eyes.

She was interviewing Grey McEachern about a shooting that happened steps away when the crash took place Sunday night.

“You could see the first kid, the driver, he got out and he ran,” McEachern said. “Yeah, I’ve never seen something like that before.”

The passenger in the speeding car, who is now in custody, and another man inside the car that was hit were both injured.

Milwaukee police said the car was recently stolen with a group of teenagers inside. The driver who ran is still on the loose.

For McEachern, the close call was an unnecessary risk to everyone on her street.

“That car could’ve killed somebody because It ran onto the grass. There were children on the grass,” she said.

It’s a worry others in Milwaukee share.

A newly released report by the Wisconsin Policy Forum breaks down what community members in the city are most concerned about.

Stolen vehicles and reckless driving were high on the list. The report named them as “primary concerns” for residents.

The data was gathered from 16 community listening sessions that also included Milwaukee police and city officials.

The crash video was brought to Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson for his reaction.

“The passenger in that video that you just showed me, he couldn’t even get up. He couldn’t even move. You know he tried to get out of the car and he collapsed,” he said. “You don’t want that to be your kid or a kid you care about. Let’s have these conversations and let’s put a stop to this.”

The mayor says he’s continuing to work with police and community groups to better focus on prevention and enforcement to keep city streets safe for everyone.

“Enough is enough of this. Stop,” Johnson said.

A 57-year-old man in the minivan at the time of the collision was taken to the hospital.

Milwaukee police said they are still looking for the driver of that stolen vehicle.
