Multiple injuries following serious crash involving a stolen vehicle on northwest side

Three people were injured in a crash involving a stolen vehicle on Milwaukee's northwest side, police said Friday.

The crash was reported shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday near W. Appleton Ave. and W. Capitol Drive, police said.

According to police, a stolen 2017 Ford Edge was westbound on Appleton Ave. at a high rate of speed, while a 17-year-old girl was driving her 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier eastbound.

As the girl attempted to make a left turn onto Capitol Drive, the Edge crashed into the Cavalier, rolled over and landed on its roof.

Several people fled from the Edge, which was taken from the 9100 block of W. Burleigh St. on July 25.

Two 16-year-old girls riding in the Edge were taken to a hospital, one with non-life-threatening injuries, the other with serious injuries, and driver of the Cavalier suffered minor injuries, according to police, who were looking for the occupants who fled from the Edge.
