MILWAUKEE—A toddler, her young mother, and a man died when their vehicle drove into a frigid river while being chased by Milwaukee police officers who suspected they were involved in two armed robberies.
Surveillance video shows the vehicle speeding and the driver losing control on the night of Dec. 31, before the SUV crashed into the Kinnickinnic River. It’s unclear who was driving the vehicle.
Sgt. Sheronda Grant, a police spokeswoman, said an officer tried to stop the vehicle, a black Chevy Trailblazer, because it matched the description of a car involved in two separate armed robberies earlier in the day. When the car fled, the officer chased after it.
