For the second time this week, a driver ignored a red light and killed someone in a hit-and-run crash, Milwaukee police said.

A man was driving south on N. 76th St. shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday when he blew a red light at W. Appleton Ave. and hit another vehicle, according to police.

A 48-year-old female passenger inside the other vehicle was killed and the driver of her car was injured, police said.

The driver who ignored the red light ran away from the crash on foot, according to police. He had been driving a Pontiac Sunfire.
