A 2006 Toyota RAV4, driven by a 61-year-old woman, was traveling northbound on S. Cesar Chavez Drive while a 1999 Toyota Camry, driven by a 27-year-old man, was traveling southbound on S. Cesar Chavez Drive, according to police.
Both vehicles had a green light. When the RAV4 tried to turn westbound on Mitchell Street, the two vehicles collided. The Camry then hit a 48-year-old Milwaukee man on a bicycle.
\"We feel sorry for him, sorry for his family. He's trying to make money for his family,\" said Raif Testepe, who lives nearby.
The man was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. An autopsy will be conducted Friday (May 7).
The Milwaukee Police Department continues investigating the crash.
